Dear Parents,

Rookesbury Park School provides a beautifully creative learning environment where your child is encouraged and challenged to extend their knowledge, and their understanding of themselves.

We teach with emotional intelligence, in that we are role models and how we interact with each other, is central to our ethos of empathy and praise. We encourage the children to be critical thinkers and we use self-assessment and target setting to improve our teaching and learning.

We strive to achieve the best in everything we do across a broad curriculum within a happy, purposeful community in a beautiful estate. High standards secure a firm academic grounding, where the three Rs go hand in hand with each child’s emotional development; we believe happiness to be at the heart of all learning. We want to send your children forward with confidence, kindness and a love for learning.

Please come and see us in action; we very much look forward to welcoming you to our happy, vibrant school.

Yours sincerely,

Pippa Harris-Burland
Headmistress
