Royston First is the name of the town’s Business Improvement District (BID). Established in 2009, it is funded primarily by town centre and industrial estate businesses with the aim of raising the profile of Royston as a great retail, tourist, and business destination, and improving the experience for those who live, visit and work in the town.
If you’ve attended the Christmas Lights Switch On, got involved in the children’s town trails, or benefited from the free parking schemes, such as the scratchcards, these are all examples of the tangible support Royston First BID provides for businesses and the wider community in Royston.

At Roman Way Academy, children join the Nursery in the year they turn four and we also offer afternoon sessions, in the summer term for ‘early risers’ (children who will be four in the September).
We believe in a holistic and nurturing approach and consider the children’s physical, personal, social, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing as well as cognitive aspects of learning.
We strive for high standards, consider the development of the whole child and seek to foster resilience and independence. We aim to provide the essential knowledge that children need to prepare them for their future success and to give children the best possible start to their early education.
The school day starts at 8.45 and finishes at 3.15 with the option of morning, afternoon or all day sessions. Children attending morning or afternoon sessions can also book into our lunchclub. All Nursery sessions are taught by an experienced teacher who is supported by high quality EYFS practitioners.
