Supporting Learning at SRPA

Please find below the wide range of support available here at Sir Robert Pattinson Academy so pupils can achieve their best. The tabs below will provide further detail on the range of support mechanisms, advice and guidance available as well as what you can do to support your child throughout their studies with us.

Homework Timetables

The homework timetable supports students and parents to plan and organise their home study successfully. It encourages our students to develop their independent study and embed good learning habits.

By setting our homework on Frog we ensure clear communication is shared with students and parents, supporting meeting deadlines, sharing resources and providing opportunities for parents to encourage positive engagement with home study. More information on Frog and how to access it can be found at https://srpa.co.uk/about-us/advice-for-working-from-home/

If you have any queries please contact JGriffiths@srpa.co.uk

Expert Learner – 80 points
Highly Effective Learner – 60 points

Core Values

You will be given ‘coffee shop style’ cards. These can be signed by staff when you demonstrate an element of a core value, for example, good effort in a lesson or holding a door open. You will see a list of examples around school and in your R2L room.
Completed cards can be handed in for 50 House Points and used as a ticket for a prize draw in assemblies!

Engagement

Pupils who give their time and effort to contribute to the house system, wider curriculum and community will be recognised and rewarded with House Points.

Stars

Every lesson subject teachers will award 2 ‘Stars of the lesson’. This will be to those pupils that have gone beyond their own capabilities, shown extra effort and stood out as having a really good lesson. Stars of the lesson will be given 10 house points.
At the end of each half term subject teachers and tutors will award 2 students ‘Star of the term’. This will give them a postcard, a badge, 20 house points along with informing home of your achievements.
