The Roundhill Academy

Guess who got soggy in the bog on the Geography fieldtrip?

🌟A message from Mrs Teece 🌟
On National Thank a Teacher Day, I wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you to all the staff at The Roundhill Academy.

Without you all, our students wouldn’t be able to access their valuable learning and experiences in and out of school. I appreciate and value each and every one of you and the huge amount of work and care you give to our students.

7B have been studying Victorian Literature in their English lessons. They wrote a description in the style of Dickens and produced miniature books like the Brontes.

We were delighted to welcome back former Roundhill student and local business owner, Abbie Dodd, founder of Pretty Suite by Abbie, to speak to our GCSE Business students.
Abbie shared her journey from student to entrepreneur, reflecting on her time at Roundhill, the challenges she has overcome, and the hard work, determination and resilience required to build a thriving and successful business.
Our students gained a valuable insight into the realities of running a business, as well as the opportunities that entrepreneurship can provide. Thank you, Abbie, for taking the time to inspire the next generation of business leaders.
It's always fantastic to see former students returning to share their success stories and inspire our current students!

Year 8 historians have been learning about civil rights movement in America.

A day of all weather's on the Geography field trip today. Students had to test the river and 3 different locations. The students were great but a huge shout out to Jakey, Jaicob and Scotney who weren't afraid to het their hands dirty.

This week year 7 and year 8 students have been to The Big Bang Fair. The Big Bang Fair brings science and engineering careers to life with hands-on activities and shows. Young inventors and experimenters, future game-changers and lifesavers all develop and shine in The Big Bang Competition.

A buzzing revision breakfast today for year 11 before their final Maths exam.

GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK TO OUR YEAR 11 STUDENTS.

Today, our year 11's had their leavers assembly and traditional shirt signing day. Exam's are still going on for the next week or so but it was great to give them a good send off and to celebrate the cohort of 2026.

📈 SUBJECT FOCUS OF THE WEEK- BUSINESS STUDIES 📈
Recently in GCSE Business, students have been looking at the benefits and drawbacks of different ways of working. They have also been learning about what good and poor communication looks like in business, and real-life examples of the impact this has on an organisation.

They have also been learning about different types of Organisational Structure in the workplace, and why these differ depending on the context of a Business.
