REC 2023!

14th October 2022Miss H WRIGHT

Redmoor Academy are pleased to announce the launch of their Redmoor Enrichment Course (REC) for 2023!

Staff have been busy over the summer months planning a variety of trips and experiences for our REC programme which is taking place 19th – 23rd June 2023. We have many UK based trips again this year and an additional overseas trip to Italy. 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.

Choosing from our offer of 16 different programmes, students need to have completed the Google electronic form with their 3 options (in no ranked order) by no later than Sunday 6th November 2022.  This form has been emailed to your child’s Redmoor e-mail address and a copy of the REC booklet and our assembly slides can be found on our website. 

We have launched this with the students in an assembly today. 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 these 3 options. The options are not ranked; therefore it is important that students want to experience all 3 of their options. If students are interested in a residential experience, we are asking students to choose a maximum of two residential plus one non-residential trip. 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 are as accurate as possible, they may be subject to change due to the current unstable financial climate. Parents will be notified as soon as possible if there are any changes. Pupil Premium students will be entitled to a £50 subsidy towards the total cost of the trip; this will automatically be allocated. 

Anyone wishing to seek financial assistance must apply in writing in the first instance to Mrs Sulley, Business Manager. 

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.

We will be holding a non uniform day for all year groups on Friday 14th October. There will be a minimum donation of £1 and monies raised will contribute towards our continued efforts to make the school more eco friendly and to student rewards.

Art and Photography London Visit

30th September 2022Miss H WRIGHT
Last week our 11 Art & Photography students had the opportunity to add to their portfolio with a trip to London.
Our students visited the Tate Modern where they had the chance to engage with the artwork in the exhibition called ‘Media Networks’ to see how artists have responded to the impact of mass media.
They then walked along the Thames and over London bridge and past the Tower of London, having the chance to photograph some of London’s landmarks and skylines. The last stop to photograph was St Dunstan Church which is an over grown church that was bombed in the second world war.
We look forward to seeing the outcomes of this visit year 11! For now, here is a showcase of some of their current work:

Macmillan Bake Sale

30th September 2022Miss H WRIGHT

Do you think you could have been on The Great British Bake Off this year? Then show us your skills at our Macmillan bake sale which will be taking place on Thursday 6th September. All students that bake a cake will receive house points for acts of kindness and there will be a competition for the best bakes in KS3 and KS4!

Queen Elizabeth II

16th September 2022Miss H WRIGHT

Our thoughts and condolences are with The Royal Family following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. We will be closed on Monday 19th September to observe the funeral of Her Majesty.

Thank you, Tigers!

15th September 2022Miss H WRIGHT

At the start of term, our students had the fantastic opportunity to see, photograph and even hold the Rugby Premier League trophy which was kindly brought in to Redmoor by a member of the Tigers Team, Mollie. The atmosphere that morning was brilliant, with plenty of students (and teachers!) eager to have the chance to strike a pose!

Study Space

9th September 2022Miss H WRIGHT
Study Space (our after school homework provision) will begin again next Tuesday. The sessions will run Mondays-Thursdays from 3:00-4:00pm and will be in IT1 for Years 7-9 and in IT4 for Years 10 and 11.
Students do not have to stay for the full hour and do not have to attend every day but can drop in and complete any homework using the school computers with the support of staff.
This is an invaluable provision and we would encourage any students who need extra support to attend.

Redmoor Academy Celebrates Fantastic GCSE Results

1st September 2022Miss H WRIGHT

Redmoor Academy is proud to celebrate the achievements of its students in their GCSE examinations. After experiencing 3 years of disrupted education due to the pandemic, the “Class of 2022” have achieved the highest results in the history of Redmoor.

To achieve this, students have demonstrated incredible resilience, commitment and dedication in their studies, exemplifying our Redmoor DNA through their effort and attitude. We are very proud of them individually and as a year group. These results have enabled our students to progress to a variety of Post 16 destinations to continue their educational journey.

Many students achieved multiple Grade 9s which places them amongst the highest achieving students nationally while others have made phenomenal progress from their starting point. Whilst there are too many to mention, notable performances include; Sam Beddard, Alexis Ford, Ruby Robinson, Ben Sherry, Talia Sumpter, Daria Bichimulska, Sophie Traynor, Freya Harvey, Millie Huckle, Sophie Kerr and Izzy Cropper.

We wish all our students the very best for their futures, which are bright and full of potential and possibility.
