Robert May's School continues to be recognized as a good school, with a strong emphasis on pupil welfare, safety, and personal development. The leadership fosters a supportive environment where students feel proud of their school and engage actively in various leadership and charitable activities. The curriculum is ambitious and inclusive, catering to all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, there are areas that require attention, particularly in how teachers adapt lessons to ensure all students achieve their full potential, and in further embedding the support systems for SEND students.
