Writer of the famous Stitch Head and Dinkin Dings novels, Guy came and shared his energy, passion and the places where his ideas come from. The children were utterly enthralled! Here is what Isabeau had to say: "Guy Bass visited us on Wednesday 29th January. We all had the best day of our lives! He was unbelievably funny and even pretended to be a baby shouting “beans!” (he was telling us about his childhood!). Guy was HILARIOUS but …

Elite athlete, Aaron Phipps, visits RPS
Below are two recounts of Aaron's visit. On 30th January a very special guest came to our school. Aaron Phipps, the paralympian! First we watched a video about wheelchair games. Then he talked to us about when he was young and how he became disabled. He was quite interesting. After that, he told us that he was in an advert. He let us watch it. He said it was better than the Olympic one. Me and Lily agree! He then said he wanted to join the wheel chair marathon. He played against Australia and lost. He cried because he really wanted that gold …

Christmas at RPS
We have been getting ready for Christmas at RPS over the past few weeks and celebrating with friends, family and the wider community. Even before our first performance, Miss Gill and Glee Club have been rehearsing carols since the beginning of November! We had our Y4 clarinet concert on 10th December, where the children really showed off what they had achieved in such a short space of time - learning not only to read music, but also how play the correct notes on the clarinet. Tuesday 11th brought Chris Davis and his team (from Southampton …

Welcome From The Head
Romsey Primary School & Nursery is a very special place. The children are amazing and we have the most dedicated staff who put the children at the heart of every decision. We are lucky to be one of only a handful of schools in Hampshire that have a maintained nursery, which allows us to nurture and inspire children from below three to eleven years old!
Our site and grounds are fantastic. The school was built in 2007 and has a real ‘wow’ factor; we have spacious grounds with an adventure trail, our own pond and woodland area bursting with trees, bushes and plants used for outdoor learning and play.
The children are rightly proud of their school. Behaviour is good and independence is encouraged in many aspects of school life. Children enjoy their learning and have a positive attitude to lessons.
We have a strong sense of the ‘Romsey Family’ and this is a significant strength of the school. We have a thriving PTA and positive and purposeful relationships with parents and the wider community. However, don’t take my word for it: come and visit us to see the children actively learning and playing and get a feel for what it is like to be part of the Romsey Family!
