Welcome to Round Hill – Your Child’s First School
We understand that choosing the right school for your child is a very important decision. At Round Hill we are proud of the fact that we can provide the care and support your child needs along with opportunities to make the most of their talents in addition to academic success.
We look forward to welcoming all of our new families to school in September 2025. Below you will find all of the letters as they are sent out to you over the summer term prior to your child starting with us. Please note, during the summer term before your child starts, all information will be emailed to the primary contact on the application form that you completed when you applied for a school place. When your child starts with us in September, all communications will be emailed to both contacts 1 and 2 that you complete on our Pupil Personal Details Form.
We will be in touch during the summer term with regards to all of our new families signing up to ClassDojo. (which we use for communication between class teachers and parents).
There is a list of ‘Tips to make Starting School less Stressful‘ for making your child’s transition into primary school easier.
We are really looking forward to meeting you.

Dear New Prospective Parents/Carers,
At Round Hill Primary School we believe that education is about inspiring young children to open their minds to a lifetime of learning. We are a large school with traditional values and an unrivalled setting.
We believe children learn better when they are excited and engaged. What excites and engages children most is truly excellent teaching, which challenges them and promotes independence in learning.
When there is joy in what children are doing,
children learn to love learning
We believe class work should be relevant, valued by the child, challenging with built-in rigour. If children are to progress in tomorrow’s world they will need to be independent from an early age. It is vital children develop the skills and strategies of how to learn rather than the habit of being taught; starting in the Foundation Unit by learning through play based self-initiated activities to creative research projects in Year 6.
Whilst it is vitally important for children to be both numerate and literate, they will also need to be flexible, and able to work confidently with changing technology. Children will require excellent communication skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Our key educational aim is to encourage each child to work to his or her potential.
If you hear our children use the words ‘This is the best school in the world’ it is because that is the message we want to spread.
Along with the staff, governors and pupils,
we intend to make Round Hill an outstanding school.
Success in most ventures requires vision, determination, and teamwork. The staff team are determined to get the right balance between traditional values with the demands of a rapidly changing world. We are passionate and determined to offer your child a high quality education and to ensure your child reaches their full potential.
With your support and the encouragement you can give your child, we can build a strong partnership which will enhance your child’s education at Round Hill. Excellent communication with parents is really important to us. It is a good idea to check the Round Hill School Website www.roundhill.notts.sch.uk regularly as copies of all letters to parents are posted there as well many other details about school life.
Yours faithfully,
Adrian Nash
Headteacher
