About Maltby Redwood Academy
“All staff are committed to the welfare and achievement of the pupils that they work with.” (OFSTED inspection March 2022)
At Maltby Redwood Academy we are committed to promoting vibrant learning experiences that are tailored to meet the needs of each individual and fulfil the unique potential for learning. We aim to help all of our children to develop into self-confident young people who are articulate, literate and numerate; who have self-respect, respect for others and the ability to interact socially. Our children will be encouraged to be enterprising, adaptable and have initiative. We will strive to develop enquiring minds and a sense of curiosity in every child enabling all to share a love of learning and be highly motivated to reach their full potential.
“Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Leaders understand the community and the families well.” (OFSTED inspection March 2022)
At the heart of our #TeamRedwood family, we have strong, caring relationships and a shared zest for life and learning. We believe that children who are secure and happy are then confident to question, explore and learn. Our children love learning and so do our staff. We recognise the important role that parents and carers play in ensuring a successful time at school and endeavour to fully involve parents/carers in their child’s education.
We provide a high standard of all round education and aim for excellence in an enjoyable environment of mutual respect, care and discipline, where each individual’s contribution to the Academy community is recognised and appreciated.
“Leaders build positive relationships with families and have a deep understanding of the needs of the pupils in the school and the local community. (OFSTED inspection March 2022)”
Our children will be well prepared socially, morally, spiritually and intellectually for the next stage of their education. At Maltby Redwood, we work on the basis that education is very much a partnership between home and school and as such, we ensure that children are happy in school and achieve their full potential. As well as pursuing academic excellence, we work hard to help all the children in our care grow and flourish as confident individuals with high personal aspirations and a lifelong love of learning.
“Pupils feel safe and know that if they have any concerns or worries they can speak to a person that they trust.” (OFSTED inspection March 2022)
Our aim is to develop both character and academic understanding. We have high expectations of every child and know that potential is infinite. Staff support children to acquire skills to develop them into well-rounded citizens. Our six Core Learning Characteristics underpin everything we do:
· We are CURIOUS
· We are KIND
· We are RESPECTFUL
· We are RESILIENT
· We are KNOWLEDGEABLE
· We are REFLECTIVE
We provide a happy, supportive and purposeful learning environment and a curriculum that aims to excite and stimulate children’s imaginations and creative thinking. The foundation subjects are studied through topic-based themes and cross-curricular links are made wherever possible. Topics have been developed with an emphasis on global culture and cover the traditional subjects of History, Geography, Music, Art, Design and Technology and P.E. as well as beliefs and faiths from around the world. Knowledge is built upon each year and opportunities to revisit learning is embedded into the curriculum.
“Leaders have a strong understanding of how to design a curriculum and have made decisions about the curriculum which are based on the needs of the pupils and community.” (OFSTED inspection March 2022)
We want children to enjoy and engage with their learning and look back on their days at school with fondness. We aim to bring every child’s education to life by providing real life opportunities such as presentations, visits, workshops, productions and experience days. We want to ensure that every child’s learning journey is brought to life with as wide a variety of experiences as possible. Days to remember are what we do and we look forward to meeting future inspirational colleagues to join our team.
