Welcome To Our School |

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 an amphitheatre, an adventure playground, a woodland area 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 Epping Forest Countrycare 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 and also develop 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. |
