Roundwood Primary School is a one form entry village primary school across two sites. The infants attend our site at Tingewick whilst our juniors attend our site at Gawcott. The Tingewick site is a listed building benefitting from many historical features such as a working clock and bell tower whereas the Gawcott site is more modern. Both sites benefit from large outdoor areas of which we use to support outdoor learning and forest school.

The school’s catchment area consists largely of children from Tingewick, Gawcott and neighbouring villages. Many children are entitled to school transport to get them from neighbouring villages and/or across sites. We do have some children that are outside of our immediate catchment whose parents have looked to place their child in a smaller school that benefits from a rural location.

At Roundwood, we are committed to ensuring an inclusive environment for all, where diversity is celebrated and respected, empowering a sense of belonging for all. We are fortunate to have seven ethnic groups at our school. As well as learning about the traditions, culture and religions of our ethnic groupings at school, our RE and PSHE curriculum help us to embrace and learn about many more to ensure our children respect and celebrate the differences in all people.

At Roundwood Primary school,we offer a personalised learning experience, going above and beyond, to nurture our children to be the best that they can be, and to feel safe and happy in our care. We specialise in building precious human beings that are ready to embark upon life-long learning and discovery. Our priority will always focus on our children’s well-being and happiness; as from this academic success will follow. Our curriculum is bespoke for the development of our children and their needs. It isquestion ledto ensure children’s curiosity is encouraged, and to help children to think to remember. Our children also benefit from rich outdoor learning experiences to ensure they learn from the beauty of nature along with the opportunity to take risks. We have three fully trained Forest School Leads, who offer forest school across each key stage.

We aim to challenge, inspire and grow our children to ensure all achieve their full potential and beyond, regardless of their starting points. By offering a diverse, and well-planned curriculum, specialist teaching; along with planned trips and visits and a growing range of extra-curricular activities; we ensure that our pupils are introduced to the best of what has been said and done to motivate and empower them to achieve highly in a range of subjects. Our intention is to ensure all pupils leave us secondary ready, both socially and academically, with a love of learning that propels them forward to succeed beyond their time with us.
