SCHOOL MISSION/VISION: Believing, Loving, Caring, Sharing. Everyone growing in the light of Christ.
THIS hotly contested category was won by The Redeemer because not only does it provide excellent education for its own pupils but it also helps other schools achieve great things as well.
Since it got national Teaching School status three years ago, it has helped six other schools in the Blackburn with Darwen area.
“We believe in giving every child these life chances and so we provide school to school support,” said Maggie Duncan, school business manager.
The Reedemer was named as one of the top 12 schools in the country recently and Maggie says it is also in the top one per cent for school efficiency, according to the Government’s efficiency matrix which looks at how public money is spent.
“We also pride ourselves on our children’s behaviour when in school and out on visits, often gaining recognition from the general public. This is due to the experiences we provide for children which include lots of extra-curricular activities, trips, clubs and sporting opportunities,” she said.
She said the leadership and hard work of head teacher Alison Ashworth-Taylor set the tone for the school.
