Paul Cookson
As part of the National Year of Reading, we put a bid in to have a poet visit our school – we were successful (hooray!) and were so lucky to have Paul Cookson visit us!
This was an excellent offer of high quality cultural provision and exposed our children to the disciplinary practises of being a poet.
Here is our very favourite Paul Cookson poem – we love it because the message is for all of our Roman Road kids. Let no one steal your dreams!
Roman Road is a singing school!
Music is so important to us here at Roman Road – from our morning disco to our singing assemblies, music soothes our souls! Mrs Smith’s choir is legendary – their harmonies are out of this world!
Each year, our children take part in Summer Sings at The Glasshouse which offers an incredible opportunity for them to perform in Sage One – when you experience the acoustics here, you’ll know why this venue is world class.
Team Roman Road!
Everyone who is part of Roman Road automatically becomes part of Team Roman Road – but we also have some amazing sports teams who travel to festivals and tournaments to represent us.
Girls’ Football Team
Our KS1 Girls’ Football Team attended a 7 a side tournament, playing against teams from across the North East. They scored an astounding 27 goals and their boundless energy, confidence, teamwork and sheer talent made us all so proud.
A scout from SAFC was there to see if he could spot any future football talent – our very own Isla caught his eye and she has been offered the chance to develop and grow her football skills further by taking part in the Foundation of Light development pathway. From Romaness to Lioness, this girl can!
