Roundwood Park School is a non-selective state secondary school with academy status situated in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, UK. Opened in 1956,[1] it currently has around 1300 pupils, most of whom live in the local area and surrounding villages (e.g. Markyate, Southdown, Whitwell, Kimpton, Flamstead, Redbourn, Breachwood Green and Wheathampstead.) At the beginning of 2011, Roundwood (along with Sir John Lawes School, the University of Hertfordshire, and Rothamsted Research) formed a charitable trust. St George's School joined the trust in 2013 and it is now known as "The Harpenden Secondary Schools Trust".[2]

Academics

It runs a full curriculum, including all standard subjects as well as vocational subjects for Sixth Form students. The current headteacher is Mr Alan Henshall. He was preceded by Nicholas Daymond.[1]

Facilities

The construction of a new modern 'Maths and Music' block was finished in October 2008, which was opened by Johnny Ball.

The school has a multimillion-pound sports centre, officially opened on 7 September 2011 by Mike Atherton.[3] The sports centre is also used for children's parties and sports clubs outside school hours.

The construction of a new all-weather outdoor football pitch was announced in 2016 and was completed in 2018. Having replaced the grass pitches previously on the site, it is now used by Harpenden Colts FC as a training ground.[4]

Houses

At the beginning of the 2011 academic year, the school introduced a house system as an Olympic legacy. The houses were originally named after colours, but in June 2012, the current house names were unveiled.[5] Each house has a yearly charity week, where money is raised for the three school charities.
