Ofsted Report 2014
We are incredibly proud to share with you the Ofsted report from our inspection on 27 & 28 November. The three Ofsted inspectors, who were particularly rigorous, have judged the school to be good! This is a massive achievement for the school, as we were judged to be good in every one of the 5 categories that were inspected. It was especially pleasing to see that a large number of the comments in the report are actually taken from the outstanding criteria! This is the first time in Romsey Primary’s history that the school has ever been …

Languages Day 2014
Languages Day is always an exciting and popular event in our school calendar and Friday 21st November ran true to form! Many thanks to parents and carers for helping children dress up in costume or in the colours of their country’s flag. This really gives the day an ‘international’ flavour and helps foster children’s understanding of cultures which are different from their own. Just some of the eye-catching characters in school included gondoliers, flamenco dancers, French football players and one very original Ned Kelly! The day started …

King John’s House
On Wednesday 12th November 2014 year 5 visited King John’s house in Romsey for their Tudor topic. Before break one group learnt how to play a game called tee-dum that was based for children during the Tudor times. When we went down stairs we worked in the printing room and printed various pictures. Everyone also did a quiz on Tudor writing where we would search for words for instance Queen Romsey Elisabeth etc. but written in old English style. On the way to each activity we looked for fake creatures like the fake rat down a hole! After …

Y3 publish ebooks!
As part of their study of the Stone Age, Year 3 wrote explanatory texts about what life was like thousands of years ago. They dedicated their writing to Ug, a Stone Age character created by Raymond Briggs who dreamed of when life would be better, and easier (the poor boy wore stone trousers!). We have uploaded each child's book to Amazon, as a nod to the enormous technological changes that have happened since the Stone Age. The children were very excited that their work was going online! They can be purchased for £1:02, of which the school …

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. Ofsted has judged us to be Good in every aspect of what we offer children. 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 ‘very proud to come to school‘. Behaviour is good and ‘pupils are enthusiastic about their learning’. Children enjoy their learning and have a positive attitude to lessons. Teaching ‘is consistently good and underpins the rise in standards and the rapid progress pupils make’ (Ofsted 2014).
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!
