Sir Robert Pattinson Academy

Thank you to all students and staff for a positive and focused half term. Let’s take this time to rest and reset, ready for what comes next. We look forward to seeing everyone back on 1st June, prepared and motivated for the weeks ahead!

🌿 Our SRPA Green Team & Gardening Club has been incredibly busy this term! 🌿

A huge thank you to all our dedicated students and to B E Oaks for their generous donation. The Academy is looking greener than ever! 💚

We're incredibly proud of our students who have just completed The Brilliant Club's Scholars Programme – an amazing opportunity to experience university-style learning alongside a PhD researcher 🎓.

Over the course, students worked with their PhD tutor through five tutorials exploring the fascinating history of Victorian books. They discovered the secrets of book-making technologies, hidden materials in book covers, the relationship between words and images, and the traces readers leave behind.

The programme culminated in students writing a 2,000-word university-style essay answering: "Why should we study the history of books?" – drawing on everything they'd learned throughout their tutorials.

Beyond gaining knowledge applicable to English, history, art and DT, our students have developed invaluable transferable skills including critical thinking, evaluating evidence, developing arguments, academic writing and referencing, and time management – all essential for future careers and university study.

Well done to all our Scholars – we couldn't be prouder! 👏
