School Overview

All that we do here at Rosendale is based on the evidence of what works in schools. That means that sometimes we do things differently to other schools, for example our children work in mixed attainment teams using structures to support their language and learning and it means that we are constantly seeking to improve and we are not afraid to change.

We place a great deal of value on our relationships with parents and the local community. We have an active parents group that supports school events such as Sports Day and our Workshop or MAPP Day as well as bringing their own highlights to the social calendar such as Quiz Night. The school continues to be one of the most oversubscribed schools in the Borough of Lambeth.

Rosendale is an inclusive school with a wealth of expertise in providing the best possible education for all pupils including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. We do this by removing barriers to learning and providing the bespoke support that our pupils need.

In April 2024 we were judged by Ofsted as outstanding in all areas.

Benefits

• High standard of professional practice, bespoke in‑house CPD provision, and affiliation to nationally recognised courses and providers (SSAT, Teaching Leaders, Future Leaders, NPQs).
• Clear pathways for career development and progression with a proven track‑record of success in developing leaders.
• A culture of high trust and accountability that values creativity and innovation and leading practice locally.

Requirements

• Enhanced DBS check and barred list check are a condition of employment.
• Ability to work with a multi‑ethnic co‑educational school.
