Redmoor Academy has a long standing reputation as an excellent school that provides a high quality education for all students, high expectations both in and out of the classroom and superb pastoral care. Our overarching aim of “Excellence, opportunities and success for all,” perfectly captures our aspirational and inclusive ethos.

And what an ethos we have. Visitors to the school do not fail to comment on the atmosphere and culture evident during the school day and we welcome anyone who would like to see our wonderful school in action.

We have been consistently and hugely over subscribed in recent years and as a result are about to expand our intake into Year 7 from 185 to 224 students from Sept. 2024. Our school site will develop and grow accordingly with 4 additional Science laboratories, a refurbished school kitchen and expanded dining area for students planned for Sept. 2024 and a new, full sized Sports Hall with fitness room and 4 additional classrooms in Spring 2025. We will continue to provide a first class learning and working environment for our students, our highly skilled and specialist teaching team and our range of dedicated support staff. Indeed, all our staff regularly “go the extra mile” for our students and this commitment and passion is part of what makes us special.

Since 2017, Redmoor has experienced sustained and continuous improvement to ensure our students make better progress than similar students nationally.  This was recognized in our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021 where we were judged securely “good” in all areas, demonstrated by 6 years of positive Progress 8 and fantastic GCSE outcomes for students and evidenced in the social development of our students as they become valuable members of the community. We set high aspirations within a culture of academic excellence, evidenced by the excellent progress students of all abilities make and the number of Grade 9s and Distinction *s in our GCSE results. We teach the majority of subjects in mixed attainment groups and are passionate in our desire for every student to be successful.  Our ethos is underpinned by a strong and supportive pastoral culture which promotes pupil well-being, as we believe in the education of the whole child in order to equip them to be good citizens in society.

As well as providing educational challenge, we are also committed to the overall development of every student through our extensive range of enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities. We firmly believe school is about much more than academic excellence and we place great emphasis on our students developing their confidence, resilience and independence so they become the leaders of tomorrow and responsible and respectful members of our community. This vision is shaped into 3 core values that underpin all that we do and offer our students;

  • For all students to achieve their best outcomes
  • To provide a variety of outstanding opportunities that develop character and prepare students to be responsible community and global citizens
  • For students to become the very best version of themselves
