About Romans Field School

Welcome to Romans Field School, our school is a Special School for children aged 5 to 11. All our children have an EHCP plan, and we cater for children with a range of needs including ASC, Communication, SEMH and Complex Needs.

Romans Field School is part of the Inclusive Learning Federation, which also includes two mainstream primary schools within our local area. All three schools work closely together, sharing expertise and experience to support all our pupils. We pride ourselves on incorporating state of the art resources within our lessons and providing access to all the opportunities that their peers experience, locally and nationally to prepare them for life, this has included transition back in to mainstream school, where appropriate.

We are a nurturing school with an inclusive family ethos at the heart of all we do. Our staff work with devotion to ensure our children, who have previously found school a real challenge, become resilient, independent, lifelong learners and are able to take ownership and regulation of their behaviours.

We believe, no matter what path the children have taken prior to coming to Romans Field School, by Building Success Together, we can support our children to develop the knowledge, skills and character to make the most of their life chances, socially, emotionally and academically.

We constantly adapt our curriculum by being creative; carefully evaluating our pupils’ strengths and needs. We have placed importance on promoting personal development, basic skills, creativity and physical activity. The children at Romans Field School follow three distinct pathways using the National Curriculum and our own RF curriculum as the basis for these.

Our Pathways

Pathway 1: Using a combination of the Engagement model and our RF Curriculum these children follow a sensory-based approach with an emphasis on engagement and early development. Students follow basic routines and structure to enable them to learn as effectively as possible.

Pathway 2: The children here often have a lower staring point and continue to follow the RF Curriculum using a highly structured approach.

Pathway 3: The children here follow a more traditional approach to learning and are predominantly on the National Curriculum at a level appropriate for their ability.

Our values are: Respect, Honesty, Empathy and Perseverance

I feel honoured and privileged in leading Romans Field and its fantastic staff, enabling our children to overcome their barriers to learning and life, and to optimise their potential.

Many thanks
