Vision and values
In 1694, Robert May, a local merchant, donated money for the purpose of educating twenty-five boys to be taught at the school. This act of philanthropy set in motion a school which has had a long and vibrant journey to become the high-achieving comprehensive it is today. At Robert May’s School we are proud of our ethos, which is characterised by an unfailing belief that all students can succeed in their chosen paths and that each person in the learning community is capable of achieving excellence every day in whatever they do. Our aim is to continue the work of our Founder, to strengthen his legacy and to be both the anchor and kite for the community we serve.
We believe that academic success is fundamental and it is our job as a school to ensure that students gain the knowledge and skills they need to achieve the very best outcomes they can. Great GCSE results open doors but education is about more than just what happens in the classroom. We recognise the importance of character and want to ensure that our young people leave us confident and capable, having achieved the best they can within and beyond the classroom, poised for success and ready to make a difference to the lives of those around them.
All who are connected to Robert May’s are part of the Robert May’s community. Being a part of the Robert May’s community means you are part of something special and this is underpinned by ‘The Robert May’s Way’: Respect, Motivate, Support.
