Robin Hood Juniors is a strong and resilient community that thrives on the support of parents and families; local networks and neighbours.
We seek to create a safe, caring and happy environment in which all pupils are involved and can thrive personally, socially and academically and safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We work in partnership with parents to give children the best possible chance to succeed.
We are community co-educational school for girls and boys aged from 7 to 11. We have up to 360 children on role, with three classes in each year group. Many children transfer to us from Robin Hood Infant School and we work closely with them to make sure this is a smooth transition. Our Year 6 pupils transfer to High Schools across the borough and in neighbouring boroughs.
We are a diverse community with over a third of our pupils speaking another language as well as English and around a quarter being entitled to Pupil Premium Grant. Around 10% of our pupils receive support for a Special Educational Need or Disability. The inclusiveness and diversity of Robin Hood Juniors is very special. We look forward to meeting you.
