Welcome to our school...

I am pleased to announce that we have received the Ofsted report from our inspection which took place on Tuesday 12^th and Wednesday 13^th March 2024. It is with great pleasure and immense pride that I can now inform you that Rode Heath Primary School has been graded as an Outstanding school in all areas.

Ofsted Report

Dear Visitor,

As Headteacher I am proud to welcome you to our school. This website aims to give you a feel for life here at Rode Heath Primary, and also provides regular information for both parents and children.

Our school is at the heart of our community, with children having been educated on the current site for more than 40 years. There are now 214 children on-roll, taught in seven single-aged classes. In addition, since September 2015, we have also enjoyed having our very own, 24 place, on-site Pre-school provision. The school is open 38 weeks term time and our popular holiday club offers parents and carers a further 8 weeks of childcare. Children can be on-site from 7:30am until 6:00pm daily.

Our commitment is to provide an excellent education for your children and rest assured that the children are and will always be at the heart of all of our decisions. I passionately believe it is every child’s entitlement to receive an education that is enriching. I further believe in nurturing and inspiring every child to reach their potential in all areas of the curriculum, so children become confident, articulate, well-rounded individuals, who have a life-long thirst for learning that will enable them to become valued contributors to communities and life in general.

Attainment measures are very strong with the vast majority of our Year 6 children reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics (combined). In 2023, 86% of our hildren achieved this. This is 27% above the national average and places Rode Heath Primary amongst the highest performing schools in Cheshire East.

The intent, implementation and impact of our commitment to S.T.E.M subjects can be seen on our sister website 'Think Like an Engineer'. Please take a moment to view the video clips (click on the images below) to see our school at work.

Finally, we are passionate about building strong relationships with parents and families in order to secure the best outcomes for all of our children. It is not only your child that joins our very special school, it’s the whole family.

Headteacher, Mr J Frankland
