The Rodillian Academy is housed in a £30 million building. It has large, light and well-resourced spaces, over 1,000 computers, interactive Smartboards in every classroom, a dance studio, a recording studio two gyms and Astro turf pitches.
The Academy has been rated as 'Good' by Ofsted since 2012, with its most recent inspection in 2019, alongside leadership and behaviour being rated as 'Outstanding'.
Behaviour in the Academy is exceptional, and something which we are very proud of.
Our highly successful Sixth Form provision sits within the top 25% nationally too.
Our 2019 inspection saw Ofsted note that “Leaders ensure that pupils learn in a calm and supportive environment. Teachers do not accept disruptions to learning. Pupils behave well, and know who to go to if they need help. Leaders take bullying seriously, and pupils agree. Staff create an orderly environment based on clear routines. Staff encourage pupils to share their views in class, and relationships between pupils and staff are positive and respectful”.
At Rodillian we believe that traditional values of discipline and respect are sacrosanct. We do not tolerate bullying, defiance or rudeness, and this has made for a harmonious and safe learning environment for our young people.
We are proud of the supportive environment we provide for staff, where they can concentrate their efforts on teaching, and their own continuing professional development.
Our school is also committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
Rodillian is a happy Academy where students and staff show respect, consideration, and kindness.
