Welcome to our website and thank you for your interest in The Joseph Rowntree
School. We are a successful 11-18 comprehensive school of over 1300 students,
with over 200 students in the sixth form. Our modern buildings and state of the
art facilities provide an excellent learning environment and our talented and
dedicated team of staff are wholly committed to the school and its students. We
offer a broad curriculum which enables students to develop knowledge and skills
that lead to important qualifications and the nurturing of talents. Our
extensive range of extra-curricular activities develops skills, interests,
relationships and an enjoyment of school life. We are a school community where
students are happy, safe and develop into well-rounded individuals. Integral to
our focus on achievement and creativity, is a strong guidance and pastoral care
system; this ensures that students are valued and supported well. Our
partnership approach to working with parents and carers helps our pastoral teams
effectively meet the needs of our young people and we are known for our positive
relationships with members of our school community.
