Roscoe Primary Badges

Badges at Roscoe PrimaryWhen Ofsted inspectors visited Roscoe in June 2013, they acknowledged that our children have the benefit of two schools. We have the real world of books and the virtual world of Makewaves. Both are equally important to us and both contain valuable evidence of what goes on in our school.In the 2013 SATs, 100% of our pupils achieved level 4 in both Reading and Maths. This is a long way from the dark days of special measures and we believe that a big part of this success is that our children are motivated and engaged to learn because of the exciting opportunities available to them.
