Robert May’s School
Welcome from the Headteacher
Welcome to the Robert May’s School community. We are delighted that your child
will be starting with us and we hope that they are excited and looking forward to
joining our school.
Our aim is to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible, both for yourselves
and your child. We understand that choosing the right secondary school for your
child can feel both daunting and exciting. As parents, nothing is more important
than making sure our children are safe and happy. Our school is a friendly and
welcoming place and we have a large team of caring and supportive staff and
students who will do their best to help your child to settle in quickly.
We are proud of our history within this community. There has been a Robert
May’s School of one kind or another in Odiham for over 300 years and our aim is
to build on the foundations of excellence left to us by our Founder, Robert May,
whilst also preparing students for life in the 21st Century.
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.
I look forward to your child joining the school, to getting to know them and to
them realising their potential.
