Osmington Bay 2014
What a fabulous week! Year 5 enjoyed the best of the weather for the time of year and despite the hail showers and cold winds made the most of the unique activities on offer at Osmington Bay PGL. Fueled by copious amounts of child friendly cooking and fresh Dorset coastal air, Birch class slipped into life at PGL with ease and showed their maturity and resilience when tackling challenges beyond everyday life in Romsey. Highlights of the week included raft building, where remaining dry was a step too far for some, the giant swing which …

Shakespeare week
What a fantastic week of Shakespeare we have had at Romsey Primary School! It all kicked off with a drama workshop where children learned one of Shakespeare’s plays: year one told the story of Romeo and Juliet whilst year’s two through to year six were part of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The children loved having the opportunity to act as different characters (Bottom from A Midsummer Night’s Dream was a firm favourite!) and enjoyed using freeze frames to tell the story and find out more about the characters feelings. Find out the whole story of …

NUT strike action – school closed 26 March
Dear Parent As you will be aware from the media, the National Union of Teachers have balloted members for strike action on Wednesday 26th March. The action (a one day strike) will result in class or whole school closures across the country. As headteacher I have a legal duty to review the implications of such a decision for the school and to decide whether partial or full closure is necessary on the grounds of health and safety, the maintenance of legal ratios and the ability to deliver an effective level of education. Having reviewed …

Guy Bass inspires RPS readers and writers!
Awarding winner author and self proclaimed part-time geek, Guy Bass, visited and inspired our children. 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 …

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!
