This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate, inspirational and motivated individual to lead Roundhay School in continued excellence.
Roundhay School is an outstanding all-through local authority maintained school located in the North of Leeds. We are a large, vibrant and successful school proud to reflect the cosmopolitan and diverse city of Leeds, with almost 2000 students aged 4 – 18 on roll.
We have achieved much in recent years – opening our primary phase campus in 2013, as well as being judged to be outstanding later the same year. An exciting building programme sees us about to embark on further enhancements to our Secondary Campus as we grow our Year 7 pupil admission number from 250 to 300 from 2017. We are now looking for a new leader to guide us further on our journey, exploring opportunities to grow and develop Roundhay and our offer in North East Leeds.
Our new Headteacher will be an experienced leader, with a track record of success in securing positive outcomes for learners. You will be committed to providing a warm and inclusive environment for our students, with them being at the heart of all you do.
The role of Headteacher at Roundhay School offers a unique and career defining opportunity for either a current or aspiring whole school leader. As we look to the future, we require a strategic thinker, talented communicator and inspirational educationalist to lead our popular school and learning community forward.

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!
