Principal's Welcome

The Rodillian Academy is where the Trust's journey began.

Rodillian Academy serves the communities of Rothwell, Woodlesford. Oulton, and other areas of South Leeds including, Middleton, Belle Isle and Hunslet. It is an 11-18 school with an expanding post 16 provision which includes A-Levels and Level 3 vocational qualifications.

We pride ourselves on a professional development programme that revolves around coaching and supports our principles of teacher freedom.

At Rodillian Academy 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. Students are exceptionally well behaved. We are proud of the supportive environment we provide for colleagues, where they can concentrate their efforts on teaching, and their own continuing professional development. Our Academy is also committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

As Principal, my expectations of student progress are high and we look forward to an improvement in student outcomes that matches those that were achieved pre-pandemic. The team of staff are creative and resourceful, and are committed to returning Rodillian Academy to being a preeminent Academy that enables students to leave us as self-confident well qualified individuals.
