Redmoor Remembers 2024. Thank you to all of our cadets for your contribution to today’s moment of silence and to the whole school who behaved impeccably as we stood together to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community. We will remember them.
The 11th of November marks the beginning of Anti-Bullying Week, and this year’s theme is “Choose Respect”. Statistics from the Anti-Bullying Alliance – reveal that 40% of children in the UK have suffered some form of bullying/unkindness within the last year, with the most common experience being name-calling and verbal abuse. While it can have several causes, this kind of behaviour is commonly seen when a disagreement between two youngsters gets out of hand and emotions take over.
Many children are still learning how to conduct themselves, and it can be difficult for them to know how to act when faced with someone who disagrees with them, or otherwise find themselves in conflict with another person. It can also be tricky for parents and educators to teach them how to resolve disputes in a mature and healthy manner. We are encouraging children to choose respect.
Yesterday, Redmoor students joined together with other secondary schools, Leicestershire Schools Symphony Orchestra and a primary choir to perform a brand new piece of music called the Scratch Space Symphony. Students had the chance to sit behind the orchestra and sing in an extended piece of music. They got to experience what its like for a composer to perform a newly commissioned piece and the rehearsal process leading up to this. A big thank you to Simon from Leicestershire Music for the support!
A huge thank you to De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) and their student ambassadors for showing some of our Year 8 students around the Art and Design Degree Show yesterday. It was an inspirational day, with students seeing a variety of work from fashion to architecture. We had a brilliant day and our students were amazing too!
