Roundwood Park School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roundwood Park School is a secondary school situated in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, UK. Built in 1956, the school just celebrated their golden jubilee. It is a state-run school for boys and girls aged 11-18. It currently has around 1200 pupils, most of whom live in the local area.
Roundwood Park is a 'Mathematics and Computing Specialist School'. It runs a full curriculum, including all standard subjects as well as vocational subjects for Sixth Form students. The current Headmaster is Mr. Nick Daymond. He was preceeded by Mr Andrew Cunningham.
The school is regularly listed in reports and newspapers as one of the top state schools in the country. This is for general standards as well as A-Level and GCSE results scores.
Roundwood Park has strong links with other local schools, in particular St. George's School and Sir John Lawes School, both in Harpenden.
On 11th July 2006, it was announced that the new elected head boy and head girl of the Sixth Form were to be Matthew Peplow and Laura Martin. Last year Emily Blueberry and Imran Shahryar held these posts.
In the school year beginning September 2005, Roundwood Park School introduced a discipline system for years 7-11. The idea was borrowed from a school in Birmingham, UK, and is based on students receiving one of six consequences (C1, C2, etc) ranging from a preliminary warning to - in dramatic cases - permanent exclusion from the school. The system has received mixed feedback.
