We are a happy and well run organisation and this is an extremely exciting time to join us. Furthermore, as a growing Multi-Academy Trust, there are always opportunities for career development and progression for ambitious and committed colleagues alongside access to high-quality CPD for all.

The Rodillian Academy is where our Trust's journey began.
Rodillian Academy serves the communities of Rothwell, Woodlesford, Oulton and other areas of South Leeds including, Middleton, Belle Isle and Hunslet. It is an 11-18 school with an expanding post 16 provision which includes A-Levels and Level 3 vocational qualifications.
Housed in a £27 million building which opened in 2008 the academy is equipped with state-of-the-art SMART digital screens in every classroom, one of the first schools in the country to embrace such technologies. The other facilities include a dance studio, two gyms, recording studio, lecture theatre and top quality outdoor sports areas. We are extremely proud of our sporting excellence and have developed elite Rugby Union and Netball Academies who have competed on a national level regularly beating many of the top private schools in both disciplines. We take 10% of our year 7 entry based on sporting aptitude.
Behaviour in the academy is exceptional and something of which we are very proud. Our judgement was supported by Ofsted in 2012 and again in 2016 where we gained an ‘Outstanding’ for ‘Personal development, behaviour and welfare’. We do not tolerate bullying, defiance or rudeness to staff and this has made for a harmonious and safe learning environment for our young people and a supportive environment for staff, where they can concentrate their efforts on teaching and their own continuing professional development.
Rodillian is a happy academy where students and staff show respect, consideration, and kindness.
