Welcome to our school
Roydon Primary Academy is a truly special place at the heart of the village community. The core values of Empathy, Achievement, Resilience, Teamwork and Healthy Living are at the heart of everything we do. Our main goal is to ensure that remarkable change happens for all of our children, whilst they learn and grow with us.
At Roydon Primary Academy our vision is to empower all children to fulfil their true potential through excellent education provision that inspires academic success and nurtures whole-child personal development. Within a safe, happy and stimulating environment, children are inspired and their individual achievements and efforts are celebrated.
In school, we use ROOTS to express our core values and outline the culture we expect all our school community to demonstrate.
R - Respect - We are kind, we care for the world around us and we value each other.
O - Open-mindedness - We listen, we learn and we grow.
O - Originality - We can safely express who we are - always.
T - Team - Everyone contributes, everyone belongs.
S - Success - We are driven by challenge and proud of our journey.
Our values support and reflect our ‘school family’ and ensure high aspirations for all learners, through both a challenging and supportive approach.
Roydon Primary School has a long history dating back to 1876 and is located in the village of Roydon on the Hertfordshire/Essex border. The school caters for children aged 4 to 11 and became a BMAT academy in December 2013.
Today our school consists of the original Victorian School House, a 1970s addition, a new building housing two classrooms and a multipurpose hall. We are fortunate to have fabulous outside facilities including extensive playing fields, an amphitheatre, football 'stadium', a sensory garden and a mini allotment which gives us plenty of learning opportunities outside of the classroom.
On joining the school, our children become an integral part of our school community. As a small school, we look to foster a family atmosphere where all children are taught the importance of consideration and mutual respect. Parents and carers play a vital role in the education of their children and we actively encourage close co-operation between home and school; we value and build on the experience and knowledge pupils bring from their home lives.
Through all we do at Roydon Primary Academy, we look to ensure a solid foundation upon which our children can grow. Our staff team are passionate about giving our children memorable experiences that will equip them for what comes next. We celebrate diversity, embrace differences and prioritise keeping safe and healthy. Through doing this, we know our children will be equipped to positively impact their wider community.
