summer school 2023

SUMMER SCHOOL DATES 2023:

Thursday 27th and Friday 28th July

Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd August

The aim of the sessions will be to make friends, to get to know Redhill staff and to enjoy fun, creative activities. We hope that the experience will build familiarity and confidence and will result in the children taking part feeling even more excited about their start in September!

Pupils will have the option of doing one or both days of the Summer School. There is no cost but we would ask that pupils bring their own packed lunch, snacks and water bottle.

The day will run from approximately 9.30am until 2.00pm but exact timings will be confirmed nearer the time. Pupils should wear their own clothes.

Letters have been sent out to prospective parents regarding attending the Summer School and how to confirm your child’s attendance. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the school or email transition@redhill.dudley.sch.uk , with Summer School as the heading.

UNIFORM

We are firm believers in a school uniform that is properly and consistently worn, and we will present every new Year 7 pupil with a Redhill tie at the end of their Induction Day. We believe that this helps young people to develop a real pride in themselves and their school and to look smart helps them to think smart too. Uniform helps students to feel part of our community and makes the point that there is no discrimination. It sets a standard which supports our expectations of work and behaviour. We find it helps maintain the right environment for learning.

Head over to our school uniform and equipment page for all the information you need about what to wear to school and where to get it from.

Top tip: Remember to label all items with your full name!
