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

We’ve been gifted some brilliant accessories from Micro Scooters for our school! Micro is not  only about scooting, they also offer a wide variety of safety must-haves suitable for bikes and scooters, including helmets and kneepads.

We really encourage you to look at what safety accessories your child has for when they are out and about scooting and biking. Find out more about the kind of accessories Micro offer at... https://www.micro-scooters.co.uk/knee-elbow-pads 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

International Day 2025

International Day 2025

Roach Vale Primary School was alive with colour, music, and the spirit of Spain today as children and staff celebrated their annual International Day. This year the children ‘took a trip’ to Spain to learn about Spanish culture. Children made castanets and maracas, crafted their own Spanish fans, explored surrealist art inspired by Salvador Dalí and abstract works by Pablo Picasso, and even constructed model Spanish guitars. A special highlight of the day was a visit from Ms Theobald from Multidance who led workshops on El Candil, a traditional Spanish folk dance that had pupils twirling with joy. Paella and churros for lunch was an extra special treat too!
