The classrooms vary in shape and size and a number of them can be adapted quickly for small or large groups. Each floor will have space for learning and teaching specialist curriculum subjects, including high quality Science laboratories, specific areas for Design Technology and ICT and a specialist Arts space. The Academy will have a 120 seat Hall space. The Hall space will provide a large-scale learning environment as well as hosting Academy and community events. Visiting speakers, master classes and video conference facilities will link learning to the outside world. All areas of the building are fully accessible for people with disabilities or mobility problems.
A great place to learn
The Academy will have an excellent Learning Resource Centre, located at the heart of the Academy, with a wide range of both traditional and digital materials and resources to support students and teachers. It will have space for tutorials, quiet study and of course the latest technology. ‘Anytime, anywhere’ learning will be part of the Academy’s approach to learning. ICT facilities will be open outside the core Academy hours. Technology will also support good attendance through a system of electronic registration. Students and staff will use a multi-purpose smart card to access the building, pay for meals and to use the library as well as a range of other Academy facilities.
A safe place to learn
The Academy has been designed as a safe space for everyone. This has been a top priority. Red House Academy wants all students and staff to feel safe and secure learning and teaching in the Academy, and wants parents and carers to know that the well-being of their child is our first concern. The Academy is investing in excellent security systems including CCTV cameras and there will be a secure main entrance for students and staff with full access control.
Red House Academy will be a safe environment where people have respect for each other, the Academy’s building and facilities and other people’s belongings.
