Rosendale Primary School Overview

Our school motto is, ‘Restless in the Pursuit of Excellence’.

We are a school where everyone is welcomed, efforts are valued, ambition is nurtured and where the potential of every child is realised. We believe that this vision statement is manifest in the following values and actions in our school:

• We have pride in ourselves, in our endeavours and in our achievements;
• We are reflective and thoughtful about experiences, learning from our failures so that we are prepared to be better tomorrow;
• We encourage co-operation and collaboration, everyone taking responsibility for all that they say and do;
• We celebrate and respect the diverse community in which we live and appreciate our responsibilities as global citizens;
• We equip young people with the knowledge, skills and critical thinking, to challenge and debate in an informed way;
• We promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance;
• We are determined and courageous in all that we encounter and are equipped to deal with the future;
• We provide a safe and stimulating space to work and play in which learning is fun and enjoyable.

Dunraven Trust Overview

Dunraven Educational Trust was established in 2016. It now incorporates Dunraven’s All-Through School, Van Gogh Primary, Goldfinch Primary, the Elmgreen Secondary School and Rosendale Primary school. DET is a trust committed to one overarching aim: excellence for and from everyone. This is an expectation for both the children and adults in a school community. It is achieved in a variety of ways according to the context of each school but within the clear framework established by the Trust.

We want an educational experience which provides excellence for - and expects it from - everyone. We know that this is best achieved in a school where:

• the offer is broad, balanced, inclusive, enriching and effective in meeting the needs of young people;
• staff and students are supported and challenged to be the best versions of themselves;
• relationships are positive, well established and healthy;
• practice is based on evidence and underpinned by the notion that ‘we can always do better’.

We are clear that this supports the development of children and young people (and adults) who are: resilient, courteous, optimistic, hardworking, self-disciplined, enthusiastic and creative.

Rosendale School is committed to the protection of its students. An enhanced DBS check and a barred list check are conditions of employment for this post.
