Description
Redborne has been designated both a Specialist Sports
College and a Training School since September 2003.
Successive OFSTED reports have consistently praised the
school for the high quality of educational and extra-curricular
provision offered. In the most recent OFSTED report
Redborne was graded good or outstanding in all
36 categories.
Redborne, a 13-18 Upper School since the
early 1970s, is ideally placed to provide
community education in the area. As an Upper
School and Community College, Redborne
serves Ampthill, Flitwick, Maulden and
neighbouring villages.
The North and South Schools, the two main groups of
buildings that make up the school, stand in 40 acres of
attractive grounds, with a wide variety of trees, shrubs,
flower beds and rock gardens. There are rugby, soccer,
hockey and cricket pitches, netball and tennis courts, as
well as an athletics track in the summer.
In addition there is a floodlit all weather sports area with
an adjoining pavilion. The school also has its own 3
acre farm, used for both livestock and horticultural stock.
Whilst Redborne receives and welcomes students from
schools beyond the local community, the majority join us
from Woodland and Alameda Middle Schools, where they
will have continued the education begun in the six Lower
Schools in the locality.
There is close liaison with Woodland and Alameda in all
subject areas, and particularly regarding the transfer from
Year 8 to Year 9 to ensure that students have a smooth
transition to Upper School life.
In this way, we at Redborne continue the high standards of
support and learning our students would expect.
Redborne has the advantage of being part of a large and
flourishing Community College, one of the largest in the
County. Classes for adults are held during the day and
evening. There are about 3000 students who enrol on different courses
each year.
At least 80% of the Sixth Form continue their studies into
Higher Education. Redborne students are to be found in
most of the Universities and Colleges in the country. Much
time and expertise is devoted to giving up-to-date and
relevant advice on courses and entry to Higher Education.
We offer students the opportunity to take part in a variety of
sports and actively support them, whether they are
interested in sport as a recreational activity or wish or pursue
their interest at a more competitive level.
The school provides players for county teams and regularly
has two or three students who have reached national level.
