Admissions

Our planned admission limit is 150 students per year. The number of requests from outside our catchment area continues to grow, though the majority of our students join us from our feeder primary schools.

When the number of requests for vacant places is exceeded we will offer places according to our admissions policy.

Prospective parents are invited to visit The Roundhill Academy prior to their child’s admission. Our annual Open Evening in September allows parents and students to visit the school. We are always happy to see individual parents at any time and are delighted to offer a further visit if required. Please contact the School to arrange a time.

Operational Capacity

On 13th April 2026 trustees ratified the school’s request for an operational capacity limit as below.

 The school have made the decision to set Occupational Capacity for 2026/27 in two year groups at The Roundhill Academy as follows:

 Year 8: 120

Year 9: 120

This is due to staffing and timetable constraints and the need to budget effectively across the school. The school could not admit further students in either year group as the timetable has been set to enable adequate class sizes and for safety and Design and Food Technology lessons.
