Welcome to Rosemead Preparatory School

*** Autumn Term, Week Six — October 6th to October 10th ***

*** Open Day: Saturday 11th October, 9.30am-12.30pm ***

Welcome to the Rosemead Preparatory School website.

On October 11th we will be holding our Autumn Term Open Day. This is an opportunity for all current and prospective families to visit Rosemead. During Open Day, you will be able to see sports displays, listen to musical performances, watch dance performances, as well as meet the staff and listen to a talk from our Headteacher, Mrs Brown. We do hope you will able to come along to experience a little bit of life at Rosemead.

To whet your appetites, we would like to inform you that, over the course of this term, a new Rosemead website is going to be launched. We intend for it to be a more dynamic medium through which we can communicate with our current families, as well as those thinking about sending their children to Rosemead.

For those of you visiting Rosemead for the first time, wanting to find out more about the school and our ethos, please contact the school office via the contact details below, and arrange to join us for one of our weekly show rounds (during term time) for prospective parents.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website.

The following menus are valid for three weeks from September 22nd to October 10th, 2008:

ISI REPORT In the past couple of years, with the acquisition of a new site for the Early Years Department, Rosemead has been growing and going from strength to strength. Following the merger with the Elmcourt Road site, the Independent Schools Inspectorate carried out an inspection of the school last November. The report, which has recently been sent to the school, gives a glowing endorsement of the merger. The following remarks are taken from the report of this independent assessment: "The merger of the two schools has been most successful." "The commitment and determination of those most closely involved in the acquisition of the former pre-preparatory school and its nursery, and subsequent development and expansion of Rosemead School in both buildings, have been richly rewarded." "The school is led with dedication, vision and energy. Expectations and standards are high in all areas, and pupils respond with enthusiasm." “The pastoral care is outstanding; a caring, family atmosphere is evident throughout the school: induction of new pupils is very carefully planned.”
