Rosslyn School

Rosslyn School is a small independent school and registered nursery, offering a first class, affordable education for boys and girls from 3 to 11 years. With classes typically fewer than 15, we are able to offer individual attention and able to appreciate the unique qualities of each and every child, ensuring every step of their education is tailored to meet their needs.

The school was established in 1927 as a high school for girls. It has grown over the decades and has recently undergone significant developments. The improvements have equipped the school to a high standard, allowing for the provision of a broad and balanced curriculum for all. Teaching methods uphold traditional values, whilst encompassing new ideas and initiatives to meet the needs of children growing up in an ever changing world.

We aim to nurture our children in an atmosphere of one large family, where there is a strong sense of community and where children feel happy, safe and secure. In achieving this, our children flourish in all areas of their development. There is a high emphasis on both academic achievement and educating the whole child to prepare them for life as adults and the wider world.

British values are upheld and the school actively promotes the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs. We welcome children of all abilities and faith backgrounds and are totally committed to inclusive practices. We strongly believe that every child is equally important as stated in our school motto: ‘Each different, Each talented, All valued’. We achieve our aims to provide children with the skills that will equip them for life and become independent, lifelong learners who achieve economic well-being.

Our first priority is to ensure we provide a welcoming and caring environment where young children feel happy, safe and secure. Staff are well qualified and experienced practitioners who are committed to the delivery of the Foundation Stage Curriculum. Positive attitudes develop confidence in the children’s abilities to become successful learners and have a positive mindset. They explore and share their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of experiences incorporating Art, Design and Technology, Music, Dance, Imaginative and Role-Play activities.

They learn about the world around them and develop the all important skills in Literacy and Mathematics which lay firm foundations as they progress into the Lower School. The Foundation Stage has its own secure play area, where children enjoy a full outdoor curriculum. It has been carefully designed to fully meet the requirements of the Early Learning Goals. Children enjoy this rich and stimulating environment in which they develop skills and acquire knowledge to develop in all seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.
