Rosedale College

Rosedale College is recognised nationally as an educational establishment, for children aged 11 to 19, that consistently strives for academic excellence. A bespoke curriculum, within a well- resourced learning environment, is delivered by staff who are committed to helping every child achieve their personal best. Rosedale College is currently graded by Ofsted as being ‘Good’ in all areas.

Rosedale is a Technology and Applied Learning Specialist College benefiting from a state-of-the-art building where Technology, Information Technology, Science and Mathematics are taught. Rosedale is well known for its collaborative approach and effective partnership working in order to benefit stakeholders and the wider community.

Our intention is to nurture the ambition, enterprise and potential of every child so that everyone is able to attain the highest possible academic standards, develop fully as an individual and prosper. We believe that everyone is of equal worth and that everyone has something positive to contribute to our community. We offer a warm and welcoming environment in which students gain the confidence to develop into well-rounded adults. Students are expected to do their best at all times, to be honest and above all enjoy their learning. We encourage all students to be active citizens and provide them with the skills necessary to be leaders in their chosen fields.

We are enormously proud of our College and our students. Come and visit us soon. We hope that you will be part of our flourishing future and look forward to welcoming you. At Rosedale College, we are committed to offering students a learning experience that is rich, varied and responsive to their needs and abilities. We aim to stimulate enthusiastic and purposeful learning based on open-minded and skilful enquiry, creative and critical thinking and generous spirit of cooperation.

We strive to create a learning environment that is safe, efficient and attractive and which reflects pride in our work. In essence, a learning environment that values our students and is in turn valued by them. We are therefore delighted by the extent of the new and refurbished buildings and sports facilities and the opportunities these bring for our students. Both within and beyond the classroom, we aim to encourage respect for the environment. We provide opportunities for students to build a sense of shared responsibility for the College in which we all work and the world in which we live.

At Rosedale College, there is a culture of confidence and optimism, in which effort, participation and achievement are celebrated. We believe that confidence and good results go together. We offer awards for good work and behaviour and we celebrate students’ achievement and contribution to the life of the College through special achievement assemblies.

We welcome parents, guardians and carers as informed and active partners in the education of their children and indeed the wider life of the College, whether this be through special activities or as a member of the Local Advisory (Governing) Body. All newcomers can be sure of a warm welcome.
