The Rodillian Multi Academy Trust
Wakefield, United Kingdom
About The Rodillian Multi Academy Trust
We are a Trust of four academies, an alternative provision independent school and a University Technical College (UTC) based in West and North Yorkshire.
With a strong focus on resilience, growth mindset and Positive Discipline, the Rodillian ethos has helped to transform schools – from their culture to their Ofsted ratings – as well as the lives of students and teachers.
We are committed to doing things differently – creating schools that students want to attend, and where teachers want to work.
We raise aspiration levels for staff, students and schools by encouraging creativity in the classroom, and by giving our staff freedom to experiment with their teaching.
We strive to develop a growth mindset in each of our young people and our staff – a belief that intelligence is not fixed or inherited but can be improved if we learn from our mistakes and continually work hard.
All of this is guided by our Positive Discipline policy – a traditional approach to behaviour management, innovative curriculum design and excellence in teaching that delivers the best possible outcomes.
Our Academies are all clustered within 30 minutes travelling distance of one another, allowing us the ability to provide high quality networks and support.

“Positive discipline is our strength: it allows everything else to go smoothly. You're always supported by the leadership and pastoral teams when you raise concerns. This trickles into everything else, allowing us to do our job fully: to teach and support our pupils' progress.”
