Redesdale are PROUD to announce that we have achieved the School Games Award Gold Award for the Academic Year 2022-23 (Our third Gold in a row). Our achievements this year include:-

89% of all children from Year 1 to Year 6 attend after school enrichment clubs.

98% of children attend clubs at school or out of school.

63 after school enrichment clubs have been run by staff and 6 by third-party providers. Over 4,500 places have been provided (up from 3,600 places last year). The variety of clubs ran has been diverse and we would like to thank our staff for providing these and our parents and carers for engaging in what has been our most successful year ever.

Our expectation of acceptable ABC’s (Attitude, Behaviour, Commitment and Sincerity) continues to be a main focus in school for children to attend clubs and to represent Redesdale in any of the opportunities which arise throughout the year, including being role models as Leaders in Years 5 and 6.

Our cycling initiative continues to grow and this year children from Years 4,5 and 6 experienced cycling on local routes with Bike4Health as part of 6 weeks cycling in our PE curriculum.

Pupil Voice has been very positive from our Sports Day in June, with children looking for more opportunities to experience new activities. As part of the feedback we will be looking at improving our Sports Day to be part of a sports week in 2024.
