We will be holding an in person Year 11 Progress Evening on Thursday 15th January 2026 from 3.30pm until 7.30pm. This will take place at school with your son/daughter’s subject teachers throughout the main parts of the school.
It will be the first Key Stage 4 Progress Evening in person your child will have received at Redmoor and will provide an opportunity for you to discuss your child’s academic progress with their teachers in light of the Year 11 report and mock results received in December, it will allow you to celebrate and build upon your child’s academic journey. It is our expectation that every child’s parent/carer makes every effort to attend so that we are working together as a team to support your child with their learning and to have a positive dedicated discussion about their potential. This will also give you an opportunity to discuss how to support your child through their GCSE subjects towards the final exams in the summer term.

Our final festive week!
On Thursday 18th December we’re supporting Save the Children by taking part in Christmas Jumper Day! Students are welcome to wear a festive jumper alongside their normal school uniform and we kindly ask for a £1 donation via ParentMail.
(Please note: this is not a non-uniform day.)
Taking part is optional, but we hope lots of students will join in and help support a wonderful cause. Find out more about how donations make a difference on the Save the Children website: https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/christmas-jumper-day
On Friday 19th December, to celebrate the last day of term, students can enjoy a full non-uniform day. We are asking for a voluntary £1 contribution via ParentMail to support our student rewards programme. School will also finish early at 12:20pm.
Please note: Food will only be available at breaktime on this day.
We’re looking forward to a great end to the term! 
Get Involved!
At Redmoor, we want our students to grow into successful, confident and well-rounded young people. One of the best ways to do this is by getting involved in our Enrichment Programme and we want you to try as many different clubs as possible!
How to earn rewards:
Attend a club from 3 different sections, 3 times per half term and you’ll receive 15 House Points and a certificate.
Go even further by attending a club from all 5 sections, 5 times per term and you’ll earn 25 House Points and another certificate.
Whatever your interests, there’s plenty to choose from! Have a browse and try something new!

Redmoor Academy are pleased to announce the launch of their Redmoor Enrichment Course (REC) for 2026!
Staff have been busy over the recent months planning a variety of trips and experiences for our REC programme which is taking place 15th-19th June 2026. As always we have listened to the feedback of both parents, students and staff over the last year and we are pleased to offer an extensive selection of experiences, with both abroad and UK based residentials, alongside the day trips and more school based options. We believe this programme of choices will build confidence, resilience and independence in our students and is unique to Redmoor in the breadth and quality of what is offered.
Take a look at what is on offer in the REC 2026 booklet here!
Choosing from our offer of 23 different programmes, students need to have completed the electronic Google form with their 3 options (in no ranked order) by no later than Friday 7th November 2025. This form has been emailed to your child’s Redmoor email address.
Please take the time to carefully read what is on offer, talk through the options with your child and encourage them to “try something new”. We ask that students select 3 courses that they would be interested in doing and we will then endeavour to allocate every student with 1 of their 3 options. The options are not ranked; therefore it is important that students want to experience all 3 of their choices. If students are interested in a residential experience, we are asking students to choose a maximum of two residential plus one non-residential trip. If a student chooses 1 or 2 residential options, a deposit of £150 must be paid (excluding Bugs & Bushcraft) that can be used against whichever trip is allocated, the details of this are included in the booklet. They can, of course, choose all non residential as well.
Please read carefully our terms and conditions at the back of the booklet.
Although we have made every effort to ensure that the pricing of trips is as accurate as possible, they may be subject to change due to factors outside of our control. Parents will be notified as soon as possible if there are any changes.
Whilst all of the options incur a cost, please note that all Pupil Premium students will be entitled to a £50 subsidy towards the total cost of the trip which will automatically be allocated. As 6 of the options are £50, then these trips would be free of charge to all PP students.
In certain circumstances, Redmoor Academy may be able to help students financially. In the first instance, please raise an enquiry with your child’s Year Manager, who will then discuss with Mr Nicolle.
We are really looking forward to once again providing our students with a variety of opportunities to experience and enjoy as part of their holistic development.
Kind regards
The REC Team
