Roxbourne and the surrounding area were known as the 'metro lands'. The Metropolitan Line (London Underground) was extended to, what is now North London, around the early 1930s to allow for city commuters to have easy access to fast and efficient transport into the capital, yet live in more affordable areas.
When the line was extended, Roxbourne and the surrounding areas were little more than fields and heathlands. And this is exactly what happened. Apparently a Mr Nash began building the houses of the Roxbourne area around 1936 as demand for houses began to increase for this area, due to the close proximity to the Metropolitan line and the ease at which people could travel into London.

The Governing Body
Report
The governors are the strategic leaders of schools and they have a vital role to play in making sure every child gets the best possible education. The Governing Body is the school's key strategic decision making body. It has a collective, legal responsibility for the effective management of the school, acting within a framework established by national legislation and the school's agreed policies, and ensuring all statutory duties are met.
Assessment
Report
Recently, when the government reviewed the Primary National Curriculum, it also reviewed the way it directed schools to assess children. Instead of using levels, the government felt that each school was best placed to decide how to assess children. We have therefore established our own robust systems for assessing children and tracking their progress.
Attendance & Punctuality
Report
If your child is absent through sickness or any other reason please could you inform the school by telephone, e-mail or letter on the first morning before 9.15 am. If you do not contact the school you will receive a text message or telephone call asking you to explain your child's absence.
We do not encourage appointments to be made during school time, for those unavoidable appointments please inform the School Office of the date and time, preferably in writing.

British Values
Report
The DfE have recently reinforced the need "to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs." The Government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values were reiterated in 2014.
