Rotherfield Primary School

Rotherfield Primary School is a community village school, maintained by the Local Authority. Built in 1876 (at the height of the Victorian Parliamentary education reform), it caters for children between the ages of 4 and 11. At the age of 11, children transfer to a selection of schools in Crowborough, Heathfield and Wadhurst as well as church and grammar schools across the Kent border in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge.

We are a safe, warm, friendly school. Our vision is to develop inquisitive, self-confident and respectful learners. Each child's unique qualities are nurtured and celebrated as we work and grow together to create happy, rounded individuals for the future. Deliver continuity and progression in children's learning, through careful curriculum planning and assessment.

We are thrilled by this result, not least because of all of the positive comments in the report about the school, its pupils, staff and leadership. Below are just some of the fantastic comments from our report that we would like to share with you. Many [parents and carers] told me that your leadership is decisive and inspirational.

The information below compares the attainment of our pupils with local authority and national averages. We are delighted with the results across the school. They are a tribute to the hard work of the children and the staff. 70% of pupils in Reception attained a Good Level of Development against the Early Years framework.

Every child at some point in their school life requires extra support, care and attention. Each situation requires special attention, with the class teacher initially analysing and assessing the pupil, assisted by the Inclusion Manager if necessary.

An intervention programme of learning or behaviour activities related to those additional needs is drawn up and put into action in either the classroom setting or in the school as a whole, i.e. the playground.
