Headteacher Ced de la Croix notes substantial improvements in teaching, learning environment, ethos and culture, and much improved GCSE and A‑Level results since the Academy became part of the Scholars’ Education Trust, while emphasising high expectations, a balanced curriculum and a rewards system.
RBA is an inclusive school and the Learning Support Department works in collaboration with other departments in the school to offer support to students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The SEND Information Report explains our approach to supporting students with SEND and how students access any additional help that they need.
Admissions to Robert Barclay Academy (RBA), including for students with education, health and care plans, disabilities and Looked after Children, are handled by the Local Education Authority. A copy of our Admissions Policy can be found on the school website.
