Roxeth Primary School<br />

Roxeth School is one of the oldest schools in Harrow and we are proud of that history. Roxeth Primary<br />

School is located in the heart of Harrow on Roxeth Hill.<br />

There are presently 470 children in school. We have morning and afternoon sessions at the Nursery<br />

which is situated in Hillview Children’s Centre, our partner setting a short walk away. The main school is<br />

organised into two classes per year group for Years 1 to Year 6. Roxeth School has a well resourced<br />

library and an ICT suite. Each classroom and learning area is equipped with an interactive whiteboard.<br />

There are separate playgrounds for Infant and Junior School children. We have good relationships with<br />

John Lyon School and Harrow School and they offer us the use of their pitches for sport from time to<br />

time.<br />

Roxeth is a vibrant, harmonious, happy mix of many cultures and religions which are valued, respected and celebrated, this is one of<br />

its many strengths. It is a safe place to be and the very good behaviour of the community reflects this. The community care for each<br />

other and this is reflected in the way children play well together and look after each other. It has strong links to the families and local<br />

schools in our community.<br />

We are committed to developing a passion for learning in every child who attends the school. People who work at Roxeth Primary<br />

School have a passion for learning and see themselves as learners too; together, we seek to discover the potential in every child and<br />

adult and develop this into success and excellence. We constantly seek to revise and improve our work and to learn from what we do.<br />

Roxeth is a welcoming school where everyone is valued highly and where tolerance, honesty, co-operation and mutual respect for<br />

others are fostered. We are committed to the development of the whole person within a supportive, secure and creative<br />

environment. A broad, balanced and appropriate curriculum provides equal opportunity for all pupils to maximise their potential<br />

regardless of age, sex, race, colour, religion or disability. We endeavour to promote positive relationships with parents, governors and<br />

members of the wider community.<br />

The school is a Rights, Respecting School (UNICEF Level 1) and this permeates all areas of the pupils learning and development.<br />

Prospective parents and pupils are very welcome to look round the school, the Headteacher holds regular sessions for new parents,<br />
