In June 2009, Red Oaks School became a National Education Trust (NET) Advocacy School.
NET award this badge to schools who demonstrate some or all of the following features:
All around the school there are places of interest, challenge, wonder and reflection
The leadership of the school is committed to an aspirational culture: one of belief that children and young people can achieve more that they might have thought
The 'student voice' is listened to and acted upon
The staff is committed to excellent teaching and an orderly, enthusiastic community
Governors, parents and local people hold the school in high regard, and are involved in productive discourse about the school's vision and performance
Certain aspects stand out from the norm, both to those who work in the school, and to visitors who observe: 'Someone's doing something special here'
We have already hosted several NET events and over the coming terms hope our relationship with NET will continue to grow and that good practice wil continue to be shared for the good of our school and community.
