Roundhay School Reviews
2.5 (2 reviews)
Absolutely shambles of a school the only thing this school is good at is hiding things and making them selfs look good on paper hiding and giving pupils days off because Ofsted is it or making the kids play hide and seek with them so Ofsted don’t see them but the truth always comes out in the end
Amazing through-school. Use their funding to enrich their children, not their own criteria. Child wants for nothing as staff listen to parents. A shame that other schools in LS8 don’t put their children’s needs first. Probably WHY this school is OFSTED OUTSTANDING and World Class Status! They use their funding wisely and have a low staff turnaround. Hence, enrichment of children not egos. My child is THRIVING! So glad he was in the primary school...
