About Rossmere Academy

About our school
Rossmere Academy is a 2 form entry primary school situated in Hartlepool. In May 2022 we joined
Extol Trust and became Rossmere Academy.
We serve a very mixed and very wide catchment area with families who have high aspirations for
their children and others who can struggle and need support from the school’s very proactive
inclusion team. Currently 50% of our children are eligible for Pupil Premium funding. We are a very
inclusive school, with 28% of the children on our SEND register. Support for children, parents and
staff is on offer in school from Speech and Language Therapists, Place 2 Be Counselling Services and
Future Steps Occupational Therapy Services. We also have SEMH additionally resourced provision
funded by Hartlepool Local Authority, that caters for 6 children from across the town.
Our school nursery is over-subscribed and has 78 part time places, split into mornings, afternoons
and 30 hours places for working parents. We also have an extremely popular and successful 2 year
old provision with 30 part time places. Our nursery shares an amazing outdoor environment with our
reception classes.
Rossmere Academy occupies a very large site that includes a sports hall, drama hall, separate dining
hall, 3 playgrounds, a large MUGA, a wildlife area, a large field and a fabulous purpose built Forest
School that is hired by other schools and community groups (complete with classroom, yurt, pond
dipping area and fire pit). The opportunities to deliver a creative outdoor curriculum are endless!
Our children are organised into 2 parallel classes in each year group of between 19 and 28 children
per class. We have additional staff to support children with SEND and a commitment to inclusion for
all. Teachers in each year group work together to plan the curriculum and prepare resources, halving
the workload.
We are committed to reducing workload and improving the wellbeing of all our staff. We also have a
planned model of Continuing Professional Development for all staff, and support our staff to develop
professionally.
We would recommend all applicants to look at the school website www.rossmereschool.org.uk
where you will find a lot more information about our ethos, values and what is important to us.
Visits to the school can be arranged for applicants who have read and meet the person specification
