Description
The Roche School is Independent Primary school in Wandsworth for kids aged 2 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
The curriculum is taught by inspiring teaching staff who work hard individually and collectively to ensure that pupils fully achieve their potential whilst they are with us. Attitudes to learning are important: we encourage pupils to enjoy challenge whether they are working together or independently. In academic subjects, we run small classes where children benefit from personal attention and support. We are proud of our strong academic record with pupils gaining places at top London secondary schools and we encourage pupils to excel. We are aspirational for all of them in the most holistic sense.Children equally enjoy having the opportunity to develop beyond the classroom by taking part in a wealth of extra-curricular activities which include further classes in art, dance, sport, music and languages, often with specialist teachers.
Facilities
Early Years
Children join our nursery schools aged two or three, or our Reception classes at the beginning of the school year in which they turn five. They follow The Roche Approach: Respect, Open-mindedness, Compassion, Humour and Effort, which fosters strong values and we recognise that every child is unique and deserving of the highest quality attention in order to fulfil their potential. We encourage all children to express themselves with increasing fluency, build relationships with their peers and enjoy the wide range of opportunities on offer in the learning environment – both indoors and outdoors. A positive experience is central to the enjoyment of the EYFS years. We provide a safe and nurturing environment in which all children can thrive and develop at an appropriate pace, and we foster a love of learning both through investigative play and structured teaching sessions.
Curriculum
They provide a high level of challenge for all learners. Continuous observational assessment and termly testing gives teachers keen insight into children’s strengths and areas for development so that we can provide a bespoke curriculum that stretches all needs and maximises progress. We follow the National Curriculum and move towards the Independent Schools Examination Board syllabus in preparation for the 11+.The Roche School invests in a high level of staffing to ensure careful attention and staff training reflects current national and international teaching recommendations. Our teachers understand that their own development is a key part of their role and they develop reflective habits, informed by high-quality and relevant educational literature, alongside an excellent understanding and application of teaching and learning.

Clubs
Collection for after school clubs will be the main entrance of 11 Frogmore or the entrance of Hilden House if the club takes place in that building. Sports clubs require collection from the park. Any clubs such as Reception ballet or Sports clubs where there is a gap between dismissal and the club will be supervised by our staff.
Sport
Games, PE and Dance lessons develop a wide range of skills, increased knowledge of a variety of sports and an understanding of the benefits of movement and exercise. Our non-gender bias approach gives all children the opportunity to find their strengths and interests, alongside a motivated and supportive attitude, in line with the Roche Approach.The extensive facilities include two off-site venues, and three on-site venues: an outdoor area, sports hall, and gymnastics and dance studio. Our major sports are rugby, football, cricket and netball. We also run an extensive programme in many other sports, including tennis, hockey, swimming, table tennis, rounders, fencing, street dance, High 5 netball and skiing.
