Roundhay School
Leeds, LS8 1ND · Leeds · all-through school
2nd of 42 secondary schools in Leeds we can score, 45 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.5/10 against 916 of them, against 8.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 66.8 · 89 | 30% | 2.66 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.72 · 91 | 25% | 2.29 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 55.1 · 85 | 10% | 0.85 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 66.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 55.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.72 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in February 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Debate Club, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, National Citizenship Service, Social Mobility Foundation, and University of Leeds Reach for Excellence Programme. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 2554 pupils in a capacity of 2500, meaning it is over capacity by 54. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 54-pupil overage during the day? What support is available for pupils who need help with their commute given the lack of wraparound care? How does the school maintain its high Progress 8 score for students from similar backgrounds?
