We are a Rights Respecting School, and strive to provide a safe and inspiring place for our young people to learn, ensuring they are respected, nurtured and their achievements are recognised. We firmly believe that with rights come responsibility.
This ethos is embedded in our school values of Achievement, Respect and Equity. The school’s core values were formulated by the pupils themselves after wide consultation with staff, parents and the young people in the school. At The Robert Burns Academy, our pupils are our greatest asset and it is our aim to ensure we provide them with opportunities, which allow them to achieve both in school and the wider community. Everything we do is based on respect, and it is our belief that this must be apparent in everything we do. All pupils deserve the same opportunities, and by placing equity at our core, we ensure this is integral to how we work. Our values were developed in consultation with our school community, making them relevant and applicable.
Being driven by our values ensures we achieve the vision of The Robert Burns Academy:
