Roundhay School
About Roundhay School
Roundhay School’s Progress 8 score of 0.72 places it well above the Leeds local authority average of 0.07, a gap that puts it among the strongest performers in the city. In fact, it ranks 4th out of 42 secondary schools in Leeds, and 8th out of 306 across Yorkshire and the Humber. Nationally, it sits in the top 10% of all schools on this measure. The school is also one of 15 secondaries in Leeds rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a status it has held consistently across its two most recent graded inspections. With 2,519 pupils on roll, it is slightly over its stated capacity of 2,500, which gives a sense of its popularity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 17.9%, a figure that suggests a genuinely mixed intake, yet the school’s academic outcomes are markedly stronger than the local norm.
