Welcome to
Roseberry Primary
and Nursery School
A Message From Our
Head Teacher
The pupils, staff and governors extend a warm welcome to our school website. We hope that we can offer you some information about the wonderful things we do here at Roseberry Primary and Nursery School.
Our school building was 100 years old in 2021 but we had a full interior remodel in 2012 to modernise our classrooms and communal areas. We welcome children from the ages of 2 to 11 from the neighbouring villages of Newfield, Pelton, Grange Villa, West Pelton, High Handenhold and beyond. We offer very competitively priced breakfast and after-school clubs for pupils from Reception to Year 6 as well as a wide variety of free extra-curricular activities. Please see the School Clubs section for further details.

At the heart of our community, we provide a safe and inclusive environment where individual achievement is proudly celebrated at every step. Our engaging and exciting curriculum inspires our pupils to explore the world and broadens their horizons in readiness for the adventures ahead.
