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. [http://www.worldsbiggestfan.com/saverosebery/oldindex.htm] The school and its pupils and staff (known affectionately as Rosebuds) are remembered in the website [http://www.worldsbiggestfan.com/saverosebery/index.htm 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. [cite news|url=http://www.charnwood.gov.uk/listedroseberyschool.html|date=28 March 2007|title=Listed: Rosebery School|publisher=Charnwood Borough Council] The listing protects it from demolition and insensitive development. The building and grounds were sold by auction on 20 June 2007 for £875000.fact|date=April 2008 Plans were submitted in October 2007 [cite web|url=http://portal.charnwood.gov.uk/MVM/Online/Generic/StdDetails.aspx?PT=Planning%20Applications%20On-Line&TYPE=PL/PlanningPK.xml&PARAM0=209839&XSLT=/MVM/SiteFiles/Skins/Charnwood/xslt/PL/PLDetails.xslt&FT=Planning%20Application%20Details&PUBLIC=Y&XMLSIDE=/MVM/SiteFiles/Skins/Charnwood/Menus/PL.xml&DAURI=PLANNING|title=Planning Application Details P/07/3125/2|accessdate=2008-04-30|date=26 October 2007]
