WELCOME FROM THE EXECUTIVE HEADTEACHER - MATTHEW PARTINGTON

“Since 1903, Roundhay School has been at the heart of its community, growing into one of the country’s largest, most diverse, and most oversubscribed schools.

We are proud to be an All-Through School, serving children and young people aged 4 to 18. Our core ambition is clear: to do ‘whatever it takes’ to provide an exceptional education for every pupil.

At Roundhay, pupils benefit from academic excellence, rich cultural opportunities, and strong foundations for future success. Our results are consistently above national averages across all key stages, and we are proud to hold both the World Class Schools accreditation and an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ judgement. Yet we never stand still. We are always striving to improve, and we are determined to ensure that no pupil is ever left behind.

What makes Roundhay special is not only our outcomes but also our ethos and atmosphere. Visitors frequently comment on the warm relationships, calm environment, and the way our pupils look after one another. We set the highest standards, expecting impeccable behaviour, kindness, respect, and pride in wearing our uniform. This ensures our pupils feel safe, happy, and ready to learn.

Our school values are not empty words. They shape every decision and action we take. Everything we do is for our pupils: developing their character, nurturing a love of learning, and preparing them to become “Recognisably Roundhay”. That means young people who contribute positively to school and society, and who continue to learn and grow long after they leave us.

This does not happen everywhere; but it does happen here.

I warmly invite you to visit us and discover why Roundhay School is such an exceptional place to learn and work, where every day is remarkable.”
