Redwood School

Welcome back to the new school year to all our young people, their parents and carers and all the staff. A special welcome to those pupils in Year 7 and staff who are starting at Redwood for the first time!

For those families who had children on the summer club scheme which was based at Redwood, I know that a brilliant time was had by all – the comments made by staff and parents have been fantastic. Thanks to everybody who supported this programme! We shall be planning the October half term clubs in the near future ! If you can spare a few minutes please look at www.redwoodclubs.com for an amazing overview of the summer activities.

As ever there has been a really positive working atmosphere around the school this week and all the new students have settled into their new classes really well. We have hit the ground running this week with lots of plans for various activities being discussed by the staff, Wheel Chair Facilitators being appointed in KS3, the Sports Development Team planning events for the year and KS5 planning work experience for some pupils and KS4 college courses commencing.

Diary Dates - A full calendar of events for the year will be sent to parents.

Key Stage 3 News— Welcome back to all our pupils and a big hello and welcome to our new year 7 pupils. We have spent the first few days in tutor groups allowing new pupils to get to know the staff and peers, also existing pupils the chance to settle into their new groups. 7C have made biscuits, Callum enjoyed licking the spoon and India like the melted chocolate!

6th form news – we hope you all had a lovely summer and are all ready to tackle this new year with lots of enthusiasm and dedication. A big warm welcome to our new first year students who have adjusted really well to life in 6th form. Welcome back also to 2nd and 3rd year students. It really is lovely to see you all again.
