Roundwood Park School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 November 2023

Roundwood Park School is 'a place to flourish'. Pupils, including students in the sixth form, experience a high quality of education. Pupils meet leaders' exceptionally high expectations for their work, personal development and behaviour. Pupils are happy and say that they feel safe as part of this community. The broad and ambitious curriculum engages all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school supports pupils to believe in themselves through the highly effective 'ASPIRE' programme. This results in pupils becoming resourceful, reflective, responsible and resilient individuals. Pupils' experiences at this school are exceptional. They take part in an extraordinary choice of clubs, trips and opportunities, as well as giving to the wider community. These activities broaden pupils' interests, experiences and understanding of the world. They range from sports, chess, music and debating to trips, such as the Year 7 residential trip to Norfolk and a World Challenge trip to Africa. A 'sleep out' overnight helps pupils understand what it is like to be homeless. Pupils say that this is a school where everyone's differences are accepted and everyone is equal. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They clearly understand the expectations and conduct themselves responsibly. They treat each other and staff with respect.
