We have had a really positive experience with John Roan, my daughter has been there since Y7 and the school has gone from strength to strength. The teaching staff are now very committed and the quality of teaching has really improved. My daughter has also had lots of opportunities such as learning musical instruments, singing lessons, debate mate, DofE, varied sporting activities as well as school plays etc. Would recommend any parent to check it out.

Our eldest child joined the school in 2015 and was there for y7-11. There was a challenging period of instability in 2016-2017 but since then things have improved immensely and the wonderful characteristics of The John Roan School known by many in this area have shone through. We chose the school again for another of our children in 2019 since we were confident that things were moving in a positive direction and we have not been disappointed. The staff are energetic, enthusiastic and committed to providing an excellent holistic education to the students, the leadership is strong and ambitious, the community is so inclusive and diverse, and the pastoral support is excellent and very tailored to each child's needs. The JRSA (parents association) is really active and the senior leadership are really keen to build strong links with home and family, so they are very welcoming of parent involvement. This is a strong secondary school rooted in the community and serving local families - definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a secondary school for your child.
