HEAD TEACHER'S WELCOME

Welcome to Roach Vale Primary School. I hope you will find our website both interesting and informative and it will encourage you to come in and find out more about the Roach Vale community.

It is our fundamental belief that a school should reflect a sense of partnership, understanding and awareness that is shared by staff, governors, parents, the community and, of course, the children themselves. We hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you to share this process.

Where great learning changes lives

Crazy Hair Day for Children in Need

Our children pulled out all the stops to raise money for Children in Need this year by creating wacky, creative hairstyles. Amazing work Roach Vale!

Miss Denyer completed her 10,000ft sky dive and raised over £2000!

On Saturday 27th September 2025, Miss Denyer took the leap and completed her skydive. On the day, she upped the stakes by chnaging her 7000ft planned jump to a 10,000ft jump. After a long day of unpredictable weather (11 hours watching a wind sock in a field!), she finally took flight at 6pm and flew through the skies at sunset. You can watch the video by going to the Newsroom section of our website. You'll see Miss Denyer using her Happy Breathing to settle her nerves and then her big smile at the end. 

Our school raised over £2000, so we'll be ordering our new gazebo soon. Thank you for all your support.
