Prospectus - Roundhay School

Our students’ well-being is a life-long journey
and includes the right to education and training
beyond school, preparation for employment and
a fulfilling life. One of the main school aims, listed
in the pupils’ planners, is “to help all pupils acquire
knowledge and skills, develop creativity and
understand the technology of the world in which
we live.”
All KS4 pupils undertake two weeks’ work
experience as well as industry/enterprise days.
Year 11 take part in a Post-16 Experience Day. We
have our own Careers Adviser, who contributes to
the whole-school PSHCE programme, in addition
to working and advising individual students.
The excellent examination results we achieve
contribute to the future economic well-being of
our pupils, but, on a day-to-day basis, pupils are
given opportunities to show independence and
initiative in lessons and around school. We know
this because we observe lessons, sample work
and scrutinise work-related records. Opportunities
to work as part of a team, or to lead one, range
from school productions, to the school’s student
forum and to the inter-form “Roundhay Challenge”
competition. Further examples are mentioned in
other sections of this prospectus.
“Tasks are challenging and based on accurate
assessment of the students’ prior learning”
– Ofsted
“Students are well equipped for the next stages
of their education, training or employment. A very
high proportion of the Sixth Form students are
successful in gaining entry to the Universities and
courses of their choice” – Ofsted
