Overview
Overview
The Quran, Sunnah and study of the companions inform the values at Redstone Academy for Boys, including honesty, respect, responsibility and courage. This is an 11-to-16 boys' provision with its own identity, curriculum and entry arrangements, despite sharing the Redstone name and wider setting with a separately named girls' academy.
Key Stage 3 prepares pupils for Edexcel IGCSE courses. English includes comprehension, reading, analysis and written expression; mathematics develops fluency, reasoning and problem-solving; and science uses practical work with regular assessment. History and geography are mapped towards later qualifications, while Arabic is connected with understanding the Quran and Ahadith.
Application, fee and bursary routes sit alongside the academic programme. There is no boarding. The shared Redstone name should not obscure the fact that the boys' and girls' academies are separately constituted provisions, so curriculum and entry details need to be read for the boys' academy itself.
