Rosherville Church of England Academy opened on 1 November 2014, replacing a predecessor school on the same site that was subject to special measures. The school is part of the Rochester Diocesan Academy Trust and sponsored by the Rochester Diocesan Board of Education. The school has been affected by considerable and repeated changes of staff at teacher, leadership and governor levels. The head of school started in September 2017. She is the third person to lead the school since it opened as an academy. This school is smaller than the average-sized primary school. There is one class in each year group, with mixed classes of year groups in Years 3, 4 and 5. The large majority of pupils are from a range of minority ethnic groups. Almost half of pupils speak English as an additional language but are at an advanced stage of acquisition. The largest single group of pupils is Asian or Asian British. At almost a third of pupils, the proportion of disadvantaged pupils is above that seen Inspection report: Rosherville Church of England Academy, 19–20 September 2017 Page 9 of 12 nationally. A higher-than-average proportion of pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities supported by the school, or a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan. The school provides a breakfast and after-school club. The school does not meet requirements on the publication of specified information about special educational needs and disabilities on its website. The school does not comply with Department for Education guidance on what academies should publish about physical education and sport premium funding and pupil premium funding.
