OFSTED Inspection:

March 2019

• ‘The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the

school since the last inspection.’

• ‘You and your leaders share a determination to improve the quality of

education at Sir William Robertson Academy and have a committed staff

• team. A good sign that your leadership has had an impact is the

increased popularity of the school.’

• ‘Pupils were polite and well-mannered. Teachers and pupils have positive
• relationships. As a result, pupils behave well and demonstrate positive

attitudes to learning in lessons.’

• ‘Pupils readily follow instructions and lessons flow without disruption.’
• ‘A strong culture of safeguarding exists in the school.’
• ‘Pupils are safe and cared for well. Parents and pupils agree that the

school is a safe place.’

• ‘Current pupils are on track to achieve ambitious targets and make even

better progress.’

Standards of Behaviour

• Clear expectations
• Values of politeness, respect and courtesy
• Same standards apply on journey to and from school as well

as within school

• Zero-tolerance of bullying
• Mobile phones
• Pupils as ambassadors for the school

Pupil Premium

• Additional funding paid to schools for pupils who

have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years, or for children looked after by the local authority for more than one day

• Schools receive this funding (£935 per pupil) to

support their eligible pupils and narrow the attainment gap between them and their peers

• A premium (£300 per pupil) has also been introduced

for children whose parents have served in the armed forces in the last 4 years – focused on the ‘emotional and social well-being’ (DFE) of these pupils

Pupil Premium

• Lincolnshire County Council estimates that 27% of

children eligible for free school meals are not claiming them (c 4,000 pupils = £4 million unclaimed)

• You are eligible if you receive any of the following:
• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum

Act 1999

• The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit with an annual household income of

less than £16,190 and do not receive Working Tax Credit

How do Pupil Premium Children Benefit?

• Free school meals - cashless catering
• Subsidised trips
• 1: 1 tuition (English and Maths)
• Learning mentor
• Revision Guides
• These are only some of the many initiatives we

are supporting and there are many more – see the school website for further details
