About Us

A very warm welcome to Rosedale Abbey Community Primary School. Rosedale Abbey Community Primary School is a unique and creative environment which has served the local community since 1875. We are a small village school which prides itself on creating a happy, caring, family atmosphere where everyone is encouraged and inspired to achieve their full potential, develop a love of learning and to be a focussed and resilient learner. Our children lie at the heart of everything we do and every decision within the school is made by firstly considering what is in the best interest of our children. We recognise that strong self-esteem is essential in enabling our children to lead happy and successful futures and we aim to ensure that our pupils leave us as caring, happy, confident and adaptable young people, equipped with good academic skills, an enthusiasm and a passion to be 'life-long' learners. Please take the time to browse our site and find out more about our lovely school. You are more than welcome to visit us and meet our friendly children and staff. We look forward to welcoming you to our special school and working with you and your child. Miss Nichola Oxtoby - Headteacher Mrs Ruth Smith - Chair of Governing Body
