Artsmark Gold: July 2018
Your Statement of Commitment and Case Study have been reviewed by our assessment panel and we are delighted to inform you that Red Oaks Primary School has been awarded an Artsmark Gold Award. Congratulations!
"You are doing wonderful things, empowering pupils through your Artsmark panel, engaging parents through Arts homework, using the Arts to foster creative approaches to learning across the curriculum, developing CPD within and beyond the school and evolving strong systems for evaluation and planning. It is indeed a testament to the school's inclusivity that a deaf pupil was able to take a lead role in an Oscar winning film. Your case study sets out admirable ways forward, with succession planning for Arts staff, training of support staff and continuing development of digital media, including your pupil-led initiative to make their own 'How to...' videos for teachers. The world needs more schools like yours and your plans should include ways in which, over time, you can advocate further for the arts and develop curriculum design in a wide range of settings beyond the school, no doubt with pupils leading the way"
Congratulations on your Artsmark Gold Award!

OFSTED: November 2017
'Red Oaks Primary School continues to be good.'
Children are firmly at the heart of the school's work. This was clear from our
discussions with pupils as well as from our evaluations of your plans for further
developments.
A clear strength of the school is its learning environment. This is
vibrant, creative and engaging.
A visual celebration of pupils' achievement instils in
them a sense of pride and motivates them in further learning.
