• Rose Street Centenary

  Fri 11 Sep 2026 Mrs Handy

  2026 marks 100 years since Rose Street Primary School was first
  opened in 1926. The school has changed and developed a lot over
  the years. As it stands today, it is a two-form entry Primary school
  with over 400 pupils. It is now part of Sheerness West Federation
  along with Westminster Primary School.
  🌟 Rose Street Primary School – 100 Years of History
  1926 – Rose Street opens its doors: Rose Street County Primary
  School opened on 30 August 1926, with Miss Winnifred Wood as
  Headmistress and seven assistant teachers.
  Built on a rubbish dump! The school was built on a former
  rubbish dump and over the Fleet, an underground river. Staff
  and children worked together to clear the site, finding everything
  from broken china to old pots and pans.
  A school that kept growing: By 1951, there were 270 pupils on roll,
  with all eight classrooms being housed in the original main
  building.
  500+ pupils: As the local population grew, two additional
  classroom huts were built in 1953 and 1954. At the time, Rose
  Street had an incredible 500+ pupils on roll!
  A changing school: By 1976, pupil numbers had fallen to around
  170, following the opening of Westminster County Primary School
  and changes to the middle-school system.
  The Rose Street spirit: Throughout its history, Rose Street has
  been described as having a happy, family atmosphere, with a
  positive “can-do” attitude and a determination to make the best
  of every situation.
  A lasting legacy
  Perhaps the most important highlight is that the values described in
  1976 — a happy spirit, a family atmosphere and a positive, can-do
  attitude — remain at the heart of Rose Street today.
