rOBERT cLACK SCHOOL ALUMNI
INAUGURAL DINNER
26TH FEBRUARY 2010
Message from Ian Pitaway, Chair of the Robert Clack Alumni:
I 'm sure you are aware of the great progress which the school has made over the last few years under the leadership of Sir Paul Grant. Recently a group of old boys and girls got together over dinner - see the photographs - to discuss whether we should form an alumni association and to identify ways in which we could help the current pupils. There was great enthusiasm for the idea and we are now in the process of establishing an association.
We hope that in the future alumni will make themselves available for mentoring current students about particular careers , or particular places of higher education , and one of our first tasks is to create a Mentor Bank. The alumni will also be encouraged to become more involved in school activities. If you are interested in playing a part in developing the association please contact me on ian.pittaway@sackers.com . Sandie Shaw , one of our most successful alumni , has kindly agreed to act as patron and is actively involved in the project. It also has the full support of the school
It is time for us old boys and girls to make their contribution to the ongoing success of the school and help the current pupils to fulfil their full potential. Do get in touch.

The school is exceptionally well led and managed by an outstanding and tireless headteacher and a particularly strong senior team. There is a shared sense of purpose that focuses on learning and students. Roles and responsibilities are well-defined and professional development opportunities have further enhanced the effectiveness of managers and teachers at all levels. School self-evaluation is accurate, inclusive and rigorous, resulting in ambitious target setting and improvement planning. Middle leaders throughout the school understand their roles in improving the school's
performance; consequently, standards have continued to rise over the past three years, and in some aspects, the rate of improvement has been rapid. For example, the Key Stage 3 results, particularly in science, have substantially improved over the last two years. Leaders and managers know where further improvements need to be made; the whole-school focus on raising literacy levels through various strategies is having a positive impact and the continued and successful drive towards improving attendance has resulted in attendance rates rising year by year.
