Redwood Secondary School

Redwood School

We are delighted to announce that the school has been successful in securing funding to arrange Youth Clubs for our young people during the evenings and at the weekend. This great opportunity will start in September and more details will be sent out to parents / carers during this term. Please watch this space and get all the information you require to plan for your son / daughter to take part in these clubs which will be run by Redwood Staff.

Post 16 Work Experience -Good luck to all our students from Post 16 who are taking part in their two week work experience placements.

The horticulture group has received some equipment from Morrison’s. Thanks to all the parents who sent in the Let’s Grow vouchers. 6th form received nearly 2000 vouchers and was able to order some self watering propagators, Plant food, Netting and some cold wooden frames for planting. After half term hanging baskets will be for sale a replanting service will also be offered, so if you have any old hanging baskets that need the kiss of life send them in and for a small charge they will refill them and make them look beautiful again.

Over the Easter Holidays the 6th form flat Kitchen had a Face Lift. We are organising a grand opening on Friday 28th May. We are looking for any food related decorations anyone may have like posters banners etc and if anyone would like to help by doing some cooking demonstrations or workshops it would be much appreciated.

GCSE Art Steven and Amy have just finished their GCSE art exam. Well done to you both for working hard and producing some fabulous pieces of work. All work for 3rd years will be going in for accreditation next week. Well done for all the hard work you have done over the past 3 years.

Redwood is seeking specialist school status and needs to raise £23,000 as soon as possible. A fundraising team has been organised and various events are in the pipeline. If you can, or know anyone who can help with ideas or donations on how to raise extra funds please contact school.

Just a reminder Redwood closes for half term on Friday 28 May and reopens on Monday 7 June.
