exciting time. Inspired by the
values of our namesake, our

ahead. Our ultimate plan is to raise standards of
achievement for every child and be outstanding in
every area. We do not underestimate the challenges
involved in achieving this, but we believe in the principle
of aiming high.
school is at the centre of the community,
providing an excellent educational experience for
all its students.
There is so much more that marks out the Robert
Barclay Academy community as a place in which each
individual can receive the support and challenge they
need to help them thrive; a prospectus can only give
you a glimpse. We are extremely excited by the
progress of the Academy, particularly the roll out of
iPads and becoming an Apple School. If you like what
you see in the following pages and would like to come
and learn more, please do come and visit us.
At the heart of everything we do is a desire to ensure
that our students receive the very best standards of
teaching and learning and a personalised curriculum
that enables them to make excellent progress, no
matter what their starting point. However, we also
know that education is about much more than just
exam results and our statement `Education for a
changing world9 reflects our understanding that the
world into which students will emerge is an
unpredictable one. They will need much more than just
good qualifications and so we are also focused on
helping them develop into well-rounded individuals in all
aspects of their lives.
Our vision for the school is to produce responsible
young people of whom we can all be proud, who have
achieved more than they ever believed possible and
who are prepared to make a contribution to their local,
national and global communities.
