Robert May's School, Hook

Robert May’s School is an exceptional place where students, staff, governors and parents are wholly committed to the school mission, which is to provide excellence each and every day, with learning at the centre of all that they do. They are proud of our heritage, and have been serving the local community since 1694, when Robert May, a local Mercer, bequeathed the sum of Six Hundred Pounds of Lawful English Money to be paid for the maintenance of a Free-School in the Town of Odiham.

The school aims to ensure that students leave as accomplished, knowledgeable, rounded individuals who will go on, not only with determination and resilience to better themselves, but also to make a positive contribution to other people’s lives, locally, nationally and worldwide. They support this aim by:

• pursuing excellence in all areas of work, particularly in learning and teaching
• helping all students to discover all their abilities and talents and to develop them in the most positive and constructive manner.
• promoting the skills and understanding necessary for students to achieve the highest possible individual, academic achievement and a critical awareness of their natural, aesthetic, historical ethical and technological environments.
• encouraging them to develop qualities of self-discipline, confidence, inquiry, moral compass, creativity and sensitivity.

The school is committed to achieving these aims for all students, irrespective of their race, religion, beliefs, sex, social background and any disability or special need.
