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.
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 (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 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.

Do we hold the information we need if there was an emergency with your child?
It is vital that you use SIMS Parent to check and make any necessary changes to the information we currently hold about you and your child. The MEDICAL information, PARENT CONTACT information and CONSENT information is what information we provide to trip leaders during REC Week and any other trips and visits throughout the school year. It is important to remember to remove out of date medical information to prevent us from placing restrictions on students that may no longer be necessary.
This includes consent for pictures of students to be used on our website and social media. During REC week we use such images to keep you informed of what exciting activities the students are experiencing.
This information is used to protect and safeguard your child whilst in our care.
As an Academy, we use SIMS Parent to carry out our legal duty of collecting and maintaining students’ and parents’ information. We have chosen this option to ensure we are protecting your data.
There have been some changes made to the app so when you log in the appearance will be slightly different, however, the contents will be the same. The changes will allow you to amend all details relating to your child and their contacts.
Our admin team is in the process of sending out registration emails, containing a registration link and invitation code, to all parents that have not yet created a SIMS Parent account. This will be sent to your personal email and will be from Capita SIMS (noreply@sims.co.uk). If you cannot find this email, please check your junk mail and ensure it has not been marked as SPAM.
To ensure the Data Collection is completed correctly, please refer to this helpful guide.
Further guidance on how to access SIMS Parent can also be found here.
Should you wish to speak to someone about the above please email office@redmooracademy.org or phone 01455 230731.
Do you think you have what it takes to be a Police Cadet?
The Leicestershire Police’s Cadet Programme has been designed to support young people to access further education or employment when they reach 18, whether that be within the police force or elsewhere.
They welcome cadets from any background, social group, gender, ethnicity, ability/disability and whether they have an interest in the police or not. They especially welcome young people who may have previously been in trouble with the police or may feel some disconnection with their peers and community.
Take a look at their guide which explains more about the programme, the cadet unit locations, the application process and answers some frequently asked questions. You can also find out more on their website: www.leics.police.uk/cadets and apply online.
The programme will begin in September 2022 with the school year, with the closing date for applications being Sunday 29 May 2022.
