The Redhill Academy

Yesterday, a group of our students from Years 7–10 took part in the Mus_Ed 2026 event at the Albert Hall Conference Centre in Nottingham, and what an incredible day it was.

Set in a beautiful and inspiring venue, the event brought together students who play instruments or sing in our co-curricular ensembles for a truly enriching musical experience. Throughout the day, students engaged in a wide range of practical, hands-on workshops led by professional musicians and practitioners.

Highlights included vocal workshops with Suzzie Vango and British Youth Musical Theatre, as well as sessions in songwriting, improvisation, musical theatre, performance and conducting. Students also had the opportunity to explore composition, drumming, band skills, and composing specifically for their own instruments.

The enthusiasm and commitment shown by our students was fantastic, and they embraced every opportunity to develop their skills, collaborate with others, and grow in confidence as musicians. It was a thoroughly inspiring experience that we hope will have a lasting impact on their musical journeys.

A brilliant day for all involved!

Years 7 and 8 had a fantastic time at the Nottingham Forest Netball and Football Festival, enjoying a day packed with sport, teamwork and unforgettable moments. The afternoon tournament saw our teams compete against schools from across Nottingham, proudly showcasing their skill and determination. Students also had the exciting opportunity to meet Nottingham Forest players, coaches and the club mascot, adding to a truly special experience. Throughout the day, everyone represented the academy brilliantly, demonstrating excellent resilience and teamwork.

We are incredibly proud of Sixth Formers Armann, Ovie, Hamza and Benedict for their commitment and compassion in supporting the service over the past few months.

YOPEY is a charity that brings young people into care homes to befriend elderly residents, many of whom are living with dementia, helping to reduce loneliness and improve wellbeing. Their work focuses on training and supporting students to build meaningful relationships with residents through regular visits, activities and conversation.

Well done to all four students for being such positive role models in our community.

We’re delighted to share some brilliant news about a group of our Year 8 boys who competed in an Under-13s 5-a-side football tournament in Filey over the recent bank holiday weekend.

Representing the school were: Ben, Noah, Jensen, William and Orin. Competing against 20 teams, the boys went on to win the entire tournament—an incredible achievement! That’s not all—they also secured runner-up position in Sunday’s mini-league tournament, rounding off a fantastic weekend of football.

The team, who play together locally, showed great teamwork, determination, and passion for the sport. We’re extremely proud of the boys’ success and the way they represented themselves. We look forward to seeing more of their talent in future school sporting opportunities!

Today marked an exciting milestone in our Big Redhill Trust Reading Quiz journey as students took part in the School Final! After progressing through earlier rounds—including tutor group quizzes and house competitions—our finalists competed to secure a place on the Redhill Academy team.

Throughout the quiz, students tackled an impressive 45 challenging questions, demonstrating not only their knowledge of texts but also a genuine love of reading.

A huge well done to all of our finalists who earned their place through earlier rounds, and congratulations to those selected to represent the school in the Trust Final at The Bolsover School this June!

Over the Easter holidays, 79 Redhill students from Years 8–10 travelled overseas to take part in an exciting Football Development Tour with PSV Eindhoven Football Club in the Netherlands.
The tour offered students a unique opportunity to experience professional football environments first-hand. Participants completed high-quality training sessions at PSV’s renowned Campus De Herdgang, delivered by UEFA-qualified PSV coaches, focusing on technical development, tactical understanding and professional standards.

Students also enjoyed a guided tour of PSV’s iconic 35,000-seat Philips Stadium and club museum, before attending a live professional fixture at the De Herdgang complex where PSV Vrouwen defeated NAC Breda 4–1 to maintain their place at the top of the league in a match broadcast globally on ESPN.

Alongside these experiences, the Redhill squads competed in five competitive fixtures against local Dutch opposition, EMK and RKSV Nuenen, recording two wins, one draw and two defeats. Throughout the tour, students showed a strong desire to improve, demonstrated excellent behaviour, and represented the Redhill Academy with pride at all times.
