It has a long tradition of academic excellence, with a recent Education and Training Inspectorate report praising the high quality of the teaching, the behaviour of the children, the pride they take in their work and commenting that, “The teachers care deeply for the children and their welfare”.
The historic building is well equipped with computers in each classroom, a large assembly hall, a library, art room, nursery unit and extensive grounds comprising a large grass area which is used for games and sports; and three separate play areas.
Rosetta is an inter-denominational school welcoming all children and where every child is valued. Over the years Rosetta has been enriched by being the first choice of many parents who have come to Northern Ireland from across the globe.
Rosetta has a strong musical tradition offering a wide range of instruments, with tuition from the School of Music, school orchestra, choir, a brass band and regular concerts.
There is a wide choice of activities including drama, gymnastics, netball, swimming, cycling proficiency, rounders and football. All classes take part in school visits and trips locally and further afield, including residential trips in P6 and P7.
