Info

Activities At Roundhay School we passionately believe that the learning journey goes well beyond the classroom. We have a range of lunchtime and after-school activities. Experience tells us that the more involved our pupils become in school life the more rewarding they find their time with us. We encourage all Year 7 pupils to take up at least one activity from the list below: • Athletics • Badminton • Basketball • Climbing • Cricket • Cross Country Running • Hockey • Netball • Rounders • Rugby Union • Soccer • Tennis • Trampolining • Various musical bands, choirs and ensembles • Orchestra • Exhibitions • Multi-cultural evenings • Author Visits, Reading Groups and LRC activities • The “Roundhay Challenge” • Drama Club • Creative Arts Society School Productions • Theatre and Cinema Visits • Summer Schools • Butlins (Learning on Location) • Overseas residential trips in Europe, Canada, USA, France, Germany, Spain • Art Club • Craft Club • History Club • Debating Society and many more! “The range and frequency of extra-curricular and enrichment activities are exceptional and the uptake by students is high” – Ofsted www.roundhayschool.org.uk 19
Keeping in Touch These are some of the “tools” we use to maintain good quality communication: • Handbooks for Parents • Pupil Planners • Annual Open Day for the community/ prospective pupils • Regular Newsletters/Magazines/Mailings • Work Experience Programme • Year 10 Community Action Programme • Parent Teacher Association (‘Friends of Roundhay’) activities • Information Evenings • Focus Groups • Partner Universities (Aimhigher) • Surveys of Community Views • Consultation Evenings • Presentation Evenings • “Extended Schools” activities • Liaison with partner schools, City Learning Centres, F.E. Colleges and other vocational providers • Campus specific prospectuses • Results Booklets • Roundhay “Roundup” Magazine Concerns Most concerns can be dealt with quickly and informally by contacting your child’s form tutor or subject teacher; the planner can be used for short messages. If you would like to speak to someone directly, please make an appointment, as teachers are not available when actually teaching. Please let us know how and when we can most easily contact you and, if possible, give an indication of the problem. Make sure that you leave your name and the name of your child. Our switchboard will pass on your message as soon as possible during the day. Because we have several telephone lines into school, please be patient if you are waiting for a call to be answered. The switchboard is staffed from 07.30 – 16.30 (Friday – 15.30). There is also an answer phone in operation twenty-four hours a day. We aim to acknowledge communication by telephone within twenty-four hours. If a letter is more appropriate, we will reply within seven days, although, if additional information has to be sought, it may take longer. “Leaders … have been remarkably successful in fostering a strong ethos and a culture of continuous improvement” – Ofsted “The school has demonstrated strong capacity for improvement and that is reflected in its increasing reputation and popularity” – Ofsted “The school’s partnership with parents and carers is excellent” – Ofsted “Parents and carers describe the school as highly responsive and the staff as very accessible” – Ofsted Contact us Roundhay School All-through education from 4 to 18 Old Park Road Leeds LS8 1ND (If using a SatNav, please use the postcode LS8 1JT) Telephone: 0113 3931200 Fax: 0113 3931201 Leeds Admissions: 0113 2224414 E-mail: secretary@roundhay.leeds.sch.uk Website: www.roundhayschool.org.uk www.roundhayschool.org.uk 20
