The lift and Non-fiction Library |
| Once visitors have signed in at the School Office they are given access to the Reception area. | Redlands School has a long and successful history in all kinds of sporting activities, especially table-tennis. |
The books in the non-fiction library are used in the classrooms to help children with their project work. |

A View of a typical Key Stage 2 Classroom. |

| Each classroom is carpeted. Every classroom in the school now has an interactive whiteboard and access to the Internet. In this building, there are a set of both girls and boys toilets between each two classrooms, with the exception of Class 11, which has it's own toilets. | . |
This shows part of the carpeted, seating area in a KS2
classroom. There is also a wet-area beyond this; a sink, paints and
art drying racks can be found in this part of the classroom. |

Part of the Unique Sliding Screen |
The Dining Hall |
The School Hall with Screen Open. |
| Before Redlands School was rebuilt and refurbished in 2005, we had an art week at Redlands, where artists from the Tate Modern Gallery in London, worked alongside the teachers with the children, to produce work that was then printed and preserved forever on the unique sliding screens. | Here you can see the serving hatch to the school kitchen. This half of the school hall is used as a dining room as well as for P.E. etc. The hall is twice this size when the sliding screens are opened, which separate the table-tennis centre from the main part of the school building. | The Redlands table-tennis centre can be safely used by the community out of school time once the screen is locked closed. When opened the school hall is twice the size. We can make use of both sides of the hall for P.E. and key-stage assemblies, and the whole hall for whole school assemblies and special events such as Christmas productions, Autumn Fair etc. |

Welcome to the Staff Room. |
| All of the classrooms in
KS2 are very similar in size and design. Children choose their reading
books from bookshelves situated at the door to their classrooms. The upper floor has spectacular views of local beauty spot Sandhill Lake, which is situated directly beside the school grounds. |
There are two Year 5 and two Year 6 classrooms at either side of the corridor. At opposite ends to one another are the KS2 'group rooms' where Teaching Assistants work with both individual children and groups of children, on planned activities. | We have just one Staff Room at Redlands and it is situated upstairs, outside of the Year 6 classrooms. Pink is not the usual attire! The staff, along with the children, embrace another opportunity to raise money for worthy causes; in this case it was 'Pink Day'. |
