Roebuck Primary School

Dream-Believe-Achieve

Roebuck Primary School is a community school that has recently expanded to twoform of entry. It is situated in a ward that is within the top 40% most deprived wards in the country. The large majority of pupils are from white British backgrounds. There is a higher number of pupils with Special Educational Needs than the national average.

I took over the school shortly after the 2013 Ofsted inspection where the school had been found to be Requiring Improvement. Staff had spent long spells of their careers at the school but were working incredibly hard. As a Head, I am a believer that you are only as good as your staff and so it was from the first moment that I wanted to invest in the people who can really make a difference.
