Roscoe has a range of different facilities including, an I.C.T. Suite, a Butterfly Garden and an Adventure Trail to name but a few. The butterfly garden opened in 2006 and also has a small pond filled with frogs. The school collects caterpillars and put them in the gardens for them to hatch into butterflies. The adventure trail is a small assault course in the field on the main playground. It was installed in 2009 and most of the children play on it.
