Rosebery Primary School was a primary school in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England. It was opened in 1897 and closed by Leicestershire Local Authority in 2006, despite a protracted battle between the local community and the local government.[1] The school and its pupils and staff (known affectionately as Rosebuds) are remembered in the website SaveRosebery.co.uk, which was for a time used as the website for the campaign to save the school.

In March 2007, the school was Grade II listed as having notable historical importance.[1] The listing protects it from demolition and insensitive development. The building and grounds were sold by auction on 20 June 2007 for £875000.[citation needed] Plans were submitted in October 2007[2]
