Roundhay School

Roundhay School is an Ofsted 'Outstanding' mixed all-through school and sixth form located in Roundhay, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It contains about 2000 pupils, with about 500 pupils in the sixth form. The current headteacher is Mr. Matthew Partington who had previously been Principal of Goole Academy in the East Riding where he, according to Ofsted, transformed the school "beyond recognition". The school grounds are based across 22acre, and are directly opposite Roundhay Park near the Roundhay Hall BUPA hospital. HistoryRoundhay School was established in 1903 as an all-boys grammar school. During World Wars I and II many of the Roundhay pupils above the age of 16 served with the Yorkshire Regiment. In 1972, along with many other grammar schools in the country, Roundhay Grammar School for Boys on Old Park Road and Roundhay High School for Girls on Jackson Avenue merged to form a mixed comprehensive secondary school under the Circular 10 /70 introduced by Margaret Thatcher. Roundhay, like all other high schools in the city, changed from an 11–18 to a 13–18 school with the creation of the tier of Middle Schools – which were themselves abolished later when Roundhay became an 11–18 school again.
