Head of Juniors' Welcome

Gavin RobertsThank you for taking the time to discover a little more about Rendcomb College Junior School – we firmly believe that your adventure starts here!

Our school has a committed staff and wonderful pupils but, please don’t take my word for it alone; I invite you to come and visit us – we should be delighted to welcome you.

I hope that you will come and experience for yourself how we seek to treat each and every child as an individual and allow them to discover their own talents. Whether they arrive in our Nursery at 3 years old or enter the Junior School slightly later in life, we aim to sow the seeds that will allow our pupils to develop into thoughtful, adventurous and academically ambitious individuals who are enthusiastic about learning and, moreover, enjoy coming into school each day.

Any successful school has to be a community and, situated in the midst of beautiful surroundings, we believe that to be a part of the Rendcomb community is a special place to be.

I do hope that our website provides all of the information you require and I look forward to meeting with you soon.

With every good wish,

Mr Gavin Roberts
Head of Juniors
