School profile

The Roundhill Academy

The Roundhill Academy is a unique smaller than average sized Secondary school and we embrace diversity.

Our core purpose is to prepare our young people to enter the world as confident, well rounded and highly educated individuals. Our collective values are to nurture, enrich and inspire and we therefore have a well-planned and broad curriculum offer. Our teaching is both supportive and aspirational and as a result, many of our students go on to study at Bradgate Sixth Form which is also part of the Bradgate Education Partnership Trust.

We offer a wide range of extra curricular opportunities and a strong careers programme to prepare young people for the next steps of their education.

The school is a vibrant place where pupils, staff and the wider community are able to flourish, regardless of their starting point or focus.
