The Rookwood way

At Rookwood, we recognise that every child is unique and has their own specific strengths and talents, as well as areas for development. Therefore we do not adopt a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to our education but, instead, we get to know every child and tailor our provision accordingly.

When parents tour the school, they immediately notice small classes where pupils receive constant focus and attention, mutual respect between pupils themselves and with staff, as well as the passion teachers have for developing and nurturing every child.

No matter what, we bring out the very best in your child.
