Rounds Green Primary School is a larger than average, two-form entry primary school welcoming around 370 children from Nursery to Year 6.

We are situated in an urban area but the front of our school can be deceiving! Hidden at the back is a large field and a forest which provides both space and a learning resource for our children.

We have a strong, committed staff team who are very supportive of what we are trying to achieve and put the children at the heart of all that we do. We were inspected in February 2025 and are proud of our report.

Our pupils are wonderful! They are polite, courteous and well-mannered. They respond well to strong teaching and are appreciative of support and a positive, caring approach. Our parents are equally supportive of school and are very positive about the improvements that have been made.
