Strategic Objective 1: To build a strong Academy Trust which serves its local
community, fosters strategic forward-looking partnerships and works towards a more
sustainable future.
Proud of its heritage, the Academy will remember the Founder and foster purposeful relations
with its alumni, the community and local and national organisations. Everyone in the Academy
Trust is focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for the young people and every decision
regarding resources and estates is centred on this priority.
Strategic Objective 2: To offer outstanding pastoral care which prepares all of our
young people to live safe, happy and healthy lifestyles.
We will have a mental health programme in place which ensures that we have an accurate
understanding of the mental health of all staff and students and are able to put in place
opportunities to support excellent emotional health and well-being. At Robert May’s we believe
in kindness above all else and aim to foster an environment where everyone looks out for one
another and gives back to the community.
Strategic Objective 3: To build an inclusive and stretching curriculum which best
suits the needs of a comprehensive intake.
We will facilitate increased numbers of students undertaking the EBACC and recognise those who
achieve this mark of success. We will ensure that students have access to a range of pathways
which best suit their needs within an inclusive system which prioritises effort. At Robert May’s
we adopt a broad definition for curriculum: every opportunity a child has to learn in the school
day. The curriculum and the extra-curriculum go hand in hand - both are designed to take a young
person beyond themself.
Strategic Objective 4: To invest in the continuing professional development of our
staff so that teaching and learning is consistently high-quality and evidenced informed.
Great organisations are made up of great people; we will invest in our staff at all levels to ensure
that they are able to create an environment whereby all students are inspired and able to flourish.
Staff will be supported to develop within and beyond the classroom to achieve excellence for all.
The school is committed to the creation of life-long learners. We will operate in an outward-facing
manner, with a commitment to sharing best practice and investment in leadership at all levels.
Strategic Objective 5: To embed a strong extra-curriculum and education for
character framework so that we are able to create well-rounded young adults ready to take
their place in the world.
With the implementation of our House system we will foster school pride and encourage healthy
competition within and beyond the school. A range of extra-curricular opportunities including
sports, music, art and drama will be available and engagement incentivised. A Robert May’s
student will recognise they are part of something bigger than themself and will be aware of the
importance of giving back. Character values will be embedded in all that we do and a strong
careers programme will ensure that our students are well-prepared for the future.
