Our Academy

 I feel very privileged to be the Headteacher at Royds Hall. It has a wonderful ethos and spirit, where children are placed at the centre of everything we do.

For many families it is important to know that the Headteacher of their child’s school is suitably experienced. I have worked for nineteen years across four secondary schools and a sixth form college.  I joined Royds Hall from Shelley College, an outstanding local school where I was the Vice Principal for four and half years.  Before I joined Shelley College, I was a founding member of the Senior Leadership Team at Rochdale Sixth Form College. I am exceptionally proud of the fact that we were awarded an Ofsted rating of ‘outstanding’ across all categories on first inspection.

I strive for exceptionally high expectations for every student in their work, behaviour and personal development. This will allow us to provide the best educational experience for all.  Our mission is to ensure that all students leave Royds Hall fully equipped with the life skills, experiences and educational outcomes to enjoy a happy and successful future. 

Kindest Regards

Mrs Jenny Carr
