Southway

The Rodillian Multi Academy Trust is the sole shareholder in the company known as Southway at the Rodillian Academy Limited which operates the Southway extended educational provision, providing alternative provision education for students at KS3 and KS4, who may otherwise have been excluded from mainstream school.

Located just ten minutes away from the Rodillian Academy, in Belle Isle, the school is situated in a ‘My Space’ building and has a suite of classrooms as well as a recording studio and media suite.

Southway provides alternative provision for the Rodillian Multi-Academy Trust, and a range of schools from across Leeds and neighbouring authorities.  In addition, they have been commissioned by Leeds Local Authority to provide 40 placements for students with complex SEMH needs and provide short–term care solutions for Leeds SENSAP team to support the transition of students who have an identified specialist EHCP need.

Furthermore, they provide a consultancy service to support other local authorities to replicate their recognised best practices and methodologies to improve outcomes for young people.

Committed to the Rodillian ethos, Southway has clearly demonstrated that even the most challenging and complex students can reach their full potential and achieve academic success. At Southway, student outcomes continue to remain outstanding, with their last three years of outcomes placing them in the top 1% of alternative provisions, including pupil referral units, nationally.
