Info

Safety and Security At Roundhay School, we have approximately 1250 pupils in Years 7 to 11 and approximately 400 students in our Sixth Form. To make sure we know our pupils well, each year group has a leader who works with a team of form tutors. That team is supported by learning mentors, teaching assistants, the Leader of Inclusion and Assistant Headteachers of KS3 and KS4, as well as the Deputy Headteachers. We liaise very closely with primary schools and use the information gained to make the transition to secondary school a positive and exciting one. We believe that children need to feel safe and secure in order to achieve and be happy. For more information about the transition programme please contact Ms Parson, Assistant Headteacher, KS3. “The students feel very safe in school” – Ofsted www.roundhayschool.org.uk 9
What else do we do to keep our children safe? • Senior staff monitor the buildings during the day. • We do not allow pupils to leave school at break and lunchtimes (unless they genuinely go home for lunch). • We have 30 members of staff on duty at break and lunchtimes, all of whom wear personalised high-visibility jackets to aid identification. • We complete detailed risk assessments for all school trips and visits. • We have qualified first-aid staff in our reception area and our school nurse provides regular whole-school training for specific medical conditions such as epilepsy and diabetes. • All members of staff are CRB checked. • We abhor bullying of any kind and work relentlessly with staff, pupils and parents to minimise it. • We have a specific anti-bullying policy; if you would like more information, please contact Ms Parson. • There are CCTV cameras throughout the school. • We have a police “Safer Schools Liaison Officer” who works with us for one to two days per week. • We monitor attendance closely because, if our pupils don’t feel safe and happy at school, they may not come! At the moment our school attendance is over 95%. We have an attendance hotline, an attendance secretary and an attendance officer/mentor who works with pupils or parents who are experiencing difficulties. • Staff conduct a register check every lesson. “The students, typically, demonstrate very polite, respectful and considerate behaviour and mature into confident young people with a well-balanced approach to their education” – Ofsted “The sense of togetherness evident amongst the staff is reflected amongst the students” – Ofsted www.roundhayschool.org.uk 10
