Rowland Hill Nursery School
About Rowland Hill Nursery School
Rowland Hill Nursery School in Haringey received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2022, a significant step up from its previous Good rating in 2015. The inspection judged every available category — quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management — as Outstanding. This places the school among an exclusive group: it is one of just four nursery schools in Haringey to hold an Outstanding rating, and the only one in the local authority to achieve that top grade across all assessed areas. For a school with only 117 pupils aged 0 to 5, this consistency is a strong indicator of quality. The improvement from Good to Outstanding in seven years suggests a focused and effective approach under headteacher Sian McDermott, though the data does not specify when she took up the role.
