Our Houses

At Roundwood Park we have a thriving HOUSE system that really brings us together as a community – as well as promoting some healthy competition!

We have 7 Houses that each have a member of staff as ‘Head of House’ and, perhaps more importantly, we have nominated and elected House Leaders from each Form and House Captains, who are members of our Sixth Form Senior Leadership Government (SLG)  It is the House Leader’s and Captain’s role to assist in the running of their House with the support of the Heads of House. The Leaders and Captains will suggest, plan and organise many of the fantastic events we hold across the school year.

Please watch the video below to hear from our Head of the entire House system, and total House legend Mrs Tattersall.

RPS has a rich and varied extra-curricular programme for students to participate in, ranging from enterprise, community and charitable work, to musical, dramatic, sporting and artistic endeavours. There are so many ways in which our students involve themselves in the wider life of the school that it seems only fitting to ensure that the House system is used as a vehicle to reward student participation. It aims to foster a sense of pride and encourages students to take on the leadership of all house activity and gives them a chance to give back to school life.

Our House system aims to:

  • invoke a stronger school community that all students, staff, parents and governors feel they actively belong to, fostering a sense of team spirit and pride.
  • create role models and strong cross-year partnerships and friendships.
  • recognise and reward students for their performance in and beyond the classroom.
  • reward exceptional community work and charity efforts.
  • offer regular opportunities to stretch and explore leadership, social and group working skills.
  • promote a healthy sense of competition where students learn through experience how to best respond to success and failure.
