If you are ambitious and would love to be part of this exciting journey, this could be the job for you!
No, more than ever, is a really exciting time to join Roundhay School. We have had a number of years of rapid, school improvement that has led to a standard of education that every member of staff is truly proud of. We are recognised across the city and county as a school that regularly ‘strives for excellence’ and this is why we host DFE roadshows, twilights and open afternoons for schools to come and visit Roundhay.
In our promotional video, you will see some pictures of our excellent staff team. We truly are a family here at Roundhay. Leaders regularly strive to ensure that is an appropriate work life balance (limited marking and summative assessment, shared planning, PPA in teams etc.) along with ensuing that we have a warm, loving and fun atmosphere at work. There are regular social events here at Roundhay which also includes staff netball, yoga, HIIT classes and running groups.
We fully appreciate that choosing the right school is a difficult job, especially in current circumstances. Therefore, we have attempted to share a flavour of our school through a recruitment video (see below). We would also encourage you to look at our school website and explore all of our Twitter pages to really get a flavour for our school. We also have some spaces available on socially distanced school tours so please contact the school office to book onto one of these.
Roundhay School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This position is subject to an enhanced DBS check and approved references.

About Roundhay School
Headteachers will make all kinds of claims about their own school, particularly during a recruitment process or when trying to 'sell' their school to others, but there is genuinely something incredible and unique about Roundhay School!
We recently secured the official 'World Class Schools Status' on top of our Ofsted Outstanding rating. These accolades and our results, which sit well above national averages, have been achieved because we have superb, dedicated and highly motivated staff working with fantastic young people. Unlike some schools, we detest schools that operate a culture of fear and have developed a reputation for treating our staff well and supporting development. The Leadership Team play a key role in managing pupil behaviour, for example, by being involved with the centralised detentions and continuous corridor patrols. This is a key reason why we have excellent behaviour and a strong, warm and friendly ethos, which in turn allows teachers to teach and staff to enjoy carrying out their respective roles. Staff morale is incredibly high and sickness absence is low for these very reasons.
If your application is successful and you are shortlisted, the interview day will allow prospective candidates to see the school in action, speak to staff and judge for yourself!
