Sports Mark Gold

I am delighted to share the news that Raddlebarn has been awarded School Games Mark Gold for the 2022/23 academic year.
The School Games Mark is a national award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust, to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our continuing success.

It is also an acknowledgement of our promotion of active lifestyle choices and a commitment to sharing the School Games Values in an inclusive setting:
We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.

Thank you also to parents and staff who have contributed to this success.

Raddlebarn in Bloom!

What a blooming marvelous day! The year 5 children worked hard this week to tend to our lovely plants and vegetables in school. They spent time researching the different variety of plants we have in Raddlebarn and took ownership of the school tour. The parents of Raddlebarn fed back that they enjoyed the tour and were surprised and impressed with the children’s plant knowledge and their pronunciation of some of the difficult plant names.

Following on from the HSBC money workshops delivered in Maths week, HSBC returned to school today to deliver a very special assembly.

This will take pride of place in our trophy cabinet. Please do take a look if you’re passing by.

Make A Difference Club – Circle of Life Award

Our school’s Make a Difference Club have been working hard over the past few months to make a difference in their local community. The children decided that they wanted to support Birmingham Children’s Hospital to help make a child’s stay in the hospital more enjoyable as well as helping make things easier for the staff who work there.
The Make A Difference Club organised a fundraising event for parents to take part in a special race on the KS2 Sports Day. They also made flags and pompoms for families to purchase so they could cheer on their children during their races! It was a successful event with the children managing to raise £151.88 to donate to Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
On top of this, the children made some activity booklets for children who are visiting the hospital to complete helping to take their minds off any worries.

The children’s hard work has been recognised by the Disney and Young Citizens team and the children have been awarded the Circle of Life Award for their achievements! Well done Make A Difference Club! You have been amazing!

Youth Proms!

Our school strings ensemble and other pupils involved in area ensembles were invited to perform at the Youth Proms at Symphony Hall last week – a celebration of all things musical organised by Services for Education.
It was a truly amazing event in an equally amazing venue. All of our enthusiastic musicians played brilliantly and the audience were thrilled with the wonderful performances. A huge well done to all of our musicians!
