Exam Results 2017 We look forward to our Year 11, 12 and 13 students receiving a good set of results and wish them every success in their future career path.

A full guide of the school uniform for both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students can be found on the school website: http://rednockschool.org.uk/uniform-information/.

Please do publicise these events to your friends and neighbours. On a final note I would like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday and I look forward to seeing you at an event in school in the near future. Yours sincerely
