Science Week Competitions for KS3

It’s Science Week from 8th-12th March, and to celebrate we’re launching two fun competitions for KS3 students.

See below for details on how to enter and be in with a chance of winning £40 of Amazon vouchers. We can’t wait to see your entries!

Springtime Species Scavenger Hunt

As we move into spring, you will probably notice more flowers blooming and more wild animals in your gardens, in the park, and out and about. How many different species can you identify in your local area?

Download the Seek app for free on your smartphone or tablet to help you identify local wildlife. Make a list of the species you find and make sure to include a picture you have taken of each one.

This can include plants, amphibians, fungi, fish, reptiles, birds, insects, molluscs and mammals!

Email your list to ljames@roundhayschool.com with the subject ‘Springtime Species Scavenger Hunt’ by 3pm on Friday 12th March to be in with a chance to win. The winner will be the student who correctly identifies the most different species. Happy scavenging!

Science ArtAttack

Feeling creative? Unleash your imagination and create a piece of science-themed artwork!

You can create your artwork in any form you like, from drawing or painting to model-building, textiles, or knitting – the more creative the better! Just make sure your art is linked to a topic in Science.

To enter, send a photo of your masterpiece to ljames@roundhayschool.com with the subject ‘Science ArtAttack’ by 3pm on Friday 12th March. Entries will be judged by the Heads of Science and Art. Happy crafting!

Prizes for both the Springtime Scavenger Hunt and Science Art Attack competitions are: £40 of Amazon vouchers each for the two winners and £20 each for 2nd and 3rd place runners up.

Congratulations to our wonderful Y13 students! We are delighted to celebrate the destinations they have secured with their A level and Vocational results.

The Class of 2026 reflect a diverse range of interests, ambitions and course choices. They will begin exciting apprenticeships with global employers such as KPMG and roles including a Level 7 Apprenticeship in Accounting and our first apprenticeships in Environmental Consulting/Flood Risk Management and Autocare.

Our students will be taking up university courses across the UK from St Andrews and Glasgow to Imperial College London, Cambridge and Bath. Closer to home, also proving popular this year, are Durham, Sheffield, Liverpool and Newcastle. With eight students securing places to study medicine, healthcare was again a favourite destination alongside courses in Radiography, Sonography and Optometry. Other exciting courses this year were Archaeology, Astrophysics and Contemporary Military and International History.

We are so proud of their individual success, testament to their sheer hard work along with the support of families and the teaching from our expert staff.

Roundhay represents a Sixth Form of all abilities who study a wide range of courses and we are delighted to recognise success at all levels across the curriculum. This year we were especially pleased that 30% of our A level entries were at the highest grades of A*/A and over 40 students achieved at least 3 A's at A Level.

Congratulations to everyone, we hope you enjoy celebrating your success and wish you all the very best for the future.
