Roundhay School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 November 2023

Pupils thrive academically, and personally, at Roundhay School. Staff know each pupil individually. They work tirelessly to provide exceptional support, including acting as strong advocates for pupils and their families with outside agencies. Pupils enjoy attending school. Attendance is high. Pupils learn effectively across the whole school. They consistently achieve highly in external exams and tests. The school community contains pupils from diverse backgrounds. The personal development programme is extremely effective in supporting pupils to understand, respect and celebrate the lives of others. Groups of pupils are actively involved in designing aspects of the personal development programme. For example, pupil groups have developed videos that support other pupils to understand why certain words are considered offensive when talking about their faith, sexuality or culture. Pupils show exceptional levels of respect for others. The school aspires for all pupils to be 'Recognisably Roundhay - responsible, resilient, and ready to learn'. This is something that pupils live out daily. They can explain what this means to them in their own words and demonstrate this consistently through their actions. Most pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons and around school. Those few pupils who struggle with the high behaviour expectations receive highly effective support to help them be successful.
