Rosemary Works School is a small, non-selective, independent primary school located in Hackney. The school opened in 2001 and extended its premises in 2007. There are currently 87 pupils on roll aged from 3 to 11. Almost half of the pupils are in the Early Years Foundation Stage, which has a Nursery and Reception class. Twenty-four children are in receipt of the government nursery grant. T here is one class per year group, except for Years 3 and 4 which is a mixed-age class. There are three pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities requiring additional support, but none has a statement of special educational needs. The school provides before- and after-school clubs during term time and play activities during the school holidays. The school has close links with Rosemary Works Early Years Centre which runs its ‘Big Play School’ on the school site. Most pupils live within three miles of the school. Although the majority are from White British origins, pupils come from a wide range of backgrounds. Pupils usually move on to selective schools. The school aims to nurture ‘the whole child providing innovative and cutting-edge education for academic excellence, and preparing children for their adult life’. The school was last inspected in October 2007.
