There is a shared sense of pride about being part of ‘Team Rowner’. Leaders combine a strong sense of nurture with high expectations for pupils.

As one parent said: ‘Rowner is one of the most caring and nurturing schools I know. The children are at the centre of everything they do. The opportunities available, not just within the school day, are second to none. It is more a way of life than a school.’

Leaders focus on promoting behaviour which supports learning. As a result, pupils behave well and work hard. Pupils feel safe and happy due to the many systems in place to support them. They know that staff help them with their friendships and will address any unkind behaviour or incidents of bullying.

Our values—Honesty, Faith, and Courage—are at the heart of all we do. We are ambitious for every pupil, ensuring they experience a school where creativity, ambition, and care go hand in hand.
