Redhill Academy Trust is a thriving and ambitious community of schools providing a broad spectrum of education for children and young people across Nottinghamshire and North Derbyshire. The origin of Redhill Academy Trust lies with The Redhill Academy, an outstanding secondary school in Arnold, Nottingham. The Trust has now grown to encompass 16 academies across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, providing excellent education for over 11,000 children in nursery, infant, junior, secondary and post-16 settings. We are also a regional leader in teacher training and high-quality professional development which we deliver through the DfE designated Redhill Teaching Hub.

As a locally based Trust we take pride in serving our communities. We have a clear purpose of improving children’s futures and contributing to positive social mobility in the region. We believe in high aspirations, high expectations and high achievement for all  from the very youngest children in our nurseries, to students and sixth formers forging their own bright futures. Each of our schools is unique, but they all promote an ethos of equality and achievement through a mission to ensure that all local children have the chance to achieve their full potential, whatever their background and starting points.

Redhill was the first secondary school in Nottinghamshire to gain an “outstanding” Ofsted rating for the quality of teaching. This has now been achieved twice in succession.

The Redhill Academy Trust was officially formed in 2010. The Trust has slowly expanded and now incorporates:

1. The Redhill Academy (Gedling)
2. The Carlton Academy (Gedling)
3. Hall Park Academy (Eastwood)
4. Oakwood Academy (Nottm City)
5. Park Vale Academy (Nottm City)
6. South Nottinghamshire Academy (Radcliffe-on-Trent)
7. Colonel Frank Seely Academy (Calverton)
8. Carlton Infant Academy (Gedling)
9. Carlton Junior Academy (Gedling)
10. Robert Mellors Primary (Gedling)
11. The Bolsover School (Derbyshire)
12. The Brookfield Community School (Derbyshire)
13. Tupton Hall School (Derbyshire)
14. Tupton Primary and Nursery Academy (Derbyshire)
15. North Wingfield Primary and Nursery Academy (Derbyshire)
16. Scarcliffe Primary School (Derbyshire)

The executive leadership team for the Trust - comprising the Heads of each individual school and the Reginal Director – meet on a regular basis to agree policy and overall strategy.

Redhill was designated as a Teaching School in March 2012 and has used this status to build on its reputation for effective working with other schools and providing quality CPD for both teaching and non-teaching staff at every stage of their career. The Redhill School Teaching Alliance currently comprises 11 strategic partners and 39 schools in total. Initial Teacher Training has inevitably become a key focus of our work as a Teaching School and we have invested heavily in programmes such as PGCE, School Direct, Teachfirst and are now in the process of establishing our own SCITT.

Importantly, the success of our Trust and its growing reputation for raising the achievement of young people in the schools we work with means that we are able to attract and retain quality staff at all levels. This in turn has enabled us to build up our capacity to undertake the vital outreach work which is the key to improving standards in schools joining the Redhill Academy Trust. We are committed to recruiting and retaining the best teachers and offer our staff an extensive, widely-praised Continuous Professional Development programme.
