Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning
|
Roydon school is situated in the village of Roydon
which is on the outskirts of Harlow in Essex. We are a community of
approximately 200 children and 25 staff who work and learn together in
our beautiful school and grounds.
Our site consists of the old
Victorian listed building (1876) and later
additional buildings which have been added as the school population
increased. We have our own open air swimming pool, an amphitheatre, an
adventure playground and extensive playing fields. Our children enjoy
learning and we believe that learning should be memorable and fun. We
encourage a healthy lifestyle and enjoy Healthy School and Active mark
status.
Our school is at the heart of village life and the
children are involved in activities in the village, They have helped
in tending the community orchards, in planting hedges with the Country
care group and regularly visit the village church for Harvest and
Christmas. The village community makes use of the school grounds for
ballet, karate and archery classes and the Friends of Roydon School
Association (FORSA) is very active and supports the work of the school
with many enjoyable activities and fundraisers.
The children achieve well in national tests as well
as developing as well rounded learners who take on responsibility and
care for others. |

In our latest Ofsted report in
March 2009, inspectors commented:
"The school motto, ‘Thinking, Learning and
Caring’ underpins all the school’s work and is one of the reasons why
pupils’ personal development is outstanding...
The curriculum is rich and varied and makes an excellent
contribution to pupils’ enjoyment. Care, guidance and welfare are
exemplary and parents and pupils regard this as an exceptional feature
of the school."
We are proud of our children and value the achievements of every one.
Welcome to our website. We hope you enjoy learning more about us. |

Congratulations
to the Roydon Swimming Team for their phenomonal success
in winning not one but two Galas in the same
afternoon! With guts, determination and fuelled by adrenaline they
proved that they were true champions on the day. They have all
dedicated themselves to the training sessions on Friday evenings, they
have raced against one another, grown fitter and raised their game.
They proved to be a united, bonded team, supporting and
encouraging each swimmer, they were good sports and were polite to
their competitors. Well done to Amy, Charlotte, Mia, Chloe, Christie,
Lauren, Katie, Olivia, George Meynell, George Moss, Tony, Lewis, Jake,
Alex O, and Andrew.
