At Redby Academy, physical Education develops the child's knowledge, skills and understanding. It involves the child in the continuous process of decision making, selecting and applying skills, performing, evaluating and refining their work. It contributes to the overall education of the child by encouraging and helping them to lead full and valuable lives through engaging in purposeful physical activity. The child will perform with increasing competence and confidence in a range of physical activities. Competition at Redby is divided into seven areas of activity based on identified core sports: athletics, tennis, dance, tag rugby, gymnastics, cricket and swimming. Through these activities, the child will be encouraged to develop the personal qualities of enthusiasm, commitment, fairness and a positive attitude towards a healthy lifestyle. Recently, Redby Academy has adopted the REAL PE format to all lessons. This approach is is fully aligned to the National Curriculum and Ofsted requirements and focuses on the development of agility, balance and coordination, healthy competition and cooperative learning through a unique and market leading approach to teaching and learning in PE.

Redby is a mainstream primary school offering provision to children from 3 – 11 years.

Our geographical location, based on the Roker coastline, next to Roker Park and a stone’s throw from Sunderland Town Centre, serves us well; providing rich, learning environments beyond the classroom. Staff continually strive to instil a ‘love of learning’ in all pupils, providing quality first teaching which encourages children to grow, learn, achieve and aspire to success; both academically and personally.

Every child is recognised as being unique and our strong nurturing ethos, supports all children in their development of self –confidence, individuality, independence and resilience. The curriculum is broad, balanced and designed with pupils at the centre, enhancing knowledge, skills and cultural capital; equipping children for future learning and the next stage of their educational journey and indeed adulthood.

Redby is proud to be part of Tyne Coast Academy Trust; a multi academy trust where each educational establishment maintains its individuality and uniqueness, yet is supportive of one another. The Trust provides opportunities for growth and development thus maximising the potential of children, staff and the Academy as a whole.

Please do not hesitate to contact myself, the Headteacher, for further information or to view the Academy. Visits are always encouraged for prospective parents and children. 

Kind Regards

Melanie Wight (Head teacher)
