Roseberry Primary and Nursery School is performing well, maintaining a good overall effectiveness rating since its previous inspection. The school fosters a safe and inclusive environment where pupils thrive both academically and socially. A strong curriculum empowers students, with particular strength in reading and the support provided to pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, concerns were raised regarding the depth and continuity of learning in some subjects, as well as the need to bolster the spiritual development provision within the curriculum to ensure all students have a well-rounded understanding of different faiths.
