rossett school
HARROGATE
As a comprehensive academy our main aim is to ensure that our students achieve
their potential – from Year 7 through to Sixth Form and beyond. We are very
proud of our excellent reputation in the local community, as well as the wider
areas of Leeds and the surrounding villages, and pride ourselves on the quality
and breadth of education that we provide. We make principled decisions regarding
examination entry, choosing to support the learning needs of the individual.
Rossett School consistently achieves good examination results at both GCSE and
in our Sixth Form. We are justly proud of our 'destinations data' that places
Rossett School well above the North Yorkshire and national averages. In practice
this means that all our Key Stage 4 students sustain their education, employment
and training when they move to the next stage of their education. We expect all
students to strive for continual improvement within a supportive culture that
exhorts them to be Responsible, Resilient and Reflective learners. As an
inclusive school, we expect our students to have the highest standards of
behaviour, to respect diversity and to understand global citizenship and
equality of opportunity. Our students are well-prepared to achieve future
success once they move on from school, with the vast majority of our students
going on to university study locally, nationally and to Oxbridge after Sixth
Form. We are also delighted to be able to assist other schools in the region
through the sharing of good practice and we are pleased to be one of the
original partners within the Red Kite Teaching School Alliance, a cross-boundary
affiliation of high achieving schools in North and West Yorkshire. The most
important partnerships to us however, are the relationships built between school
and home, where together we can most effectively prepare and support our
students to achieve all that they can. Rossett School has high aspirations for
every child and we endeavour to inspire ambition for all. We work hard to
develop and innovate our learning and teaching experiences and put inspirational
and inclusive learning at the heart of all we do. We continually advance our
curriculum to be responsive to student need and skills for life. We work in a
global twenty first century context, and invest in the professional development
of our staff to keep ourselves at the cutting edge of education. In short, we
want everyone at Rossett to be ambitious and to always aim high.
