Husbands bravely fighting off the invader s, but it was futile - they were outnumbered 3:1. The army were exhausted and injured with only a few men standing and fighting. They were losing, no matter how many they killed, more poured out of the smoke in their hundreds.

RED HOUSE SCHOOL YEARBOOK 2015
The smoke star ted to lift, in the clearing stood a strong, handsome man, comfor ting a weeping woman. She was holding a small gir l and in her right hand was the most beautiful gold and silver brooch car ved with an intricate drawing of a dragon with flames r ushing out of his mouth. The woman was pleading with him not to leave her and the child alone , but he shook his head and told her it was his destiny, his fate , and he was drawn to it no matter what. Reluctantly, the woman handed the golden dragon brooch to the man. The moment he put it on, a golden mist surrounded him, which when it cleared revealed the most beautiful dragon, tall as two houses with scales the colour of fire , and piercing emerald eyes. With a flick of his powerful wings he launched himself into the air and flew towards the fight.
A loud cheer er upted as the mighty dragon opened his mouth and a gust of fire scorched the Vikings! Spear s flew through the air aiming at the dragon but they bounced harmlessly off his shimmering scales. The dragon had the upper hand and the only place they could penetrate his skin was in his stomach. The dragon heroically dodged ever y spear thrown at him. The Vikings were losing, their men all being killed as they turned and ran to their ships. One lone warrior stood called Tufi, he raised his spear high above his arm, aimed at the dragon, his spear sailed through the air and hit the dragon right in his stomach. The dragon plummeted down, screeching and wailing in pain. The injured dragon lay in the floor with the brooch next to him and as the village watched, he slowly changed back into human form. His wound was incurable and he spent his last few days with those he loved the most. The brooch, along with the tale of extreme braver y, has been handed down from generation to generation.
The fight was near ly over, the Anglo Saxons were losing. Their powerful leader, Aelrio, was badly wounded and there appeared little point in carr ying on, but they were prepared to fight to the bitter end. With only a few men and the Vikings victorious, there was a flicker of gold in the sky and out of nowhere , at 100 miles per hour flying straight to them appeared a DRAGON! With a swoosh of his wings the dragon turned and flew straight into the raging battle , attacking the Vikings.

Language Success
LAMDA Speech and Drama
LANGUAGE SUCCESS RED HOUSE PUPILS CONTINUE TO EXCEL IN LANGUAGES AND THIS YEAR 13 PUPILS REACHED THE SEMI-FINALS OF THE JUNIOR LANGUAGE CHALLENGE AFTER LEARNING PORTUGUESE AND MANDARIN CHINESE. ISOBEL AND LAURA MADE IT TO THE FINALS IN LONDON WERE THEY HAD TO LEARN ARABIC AND ENDURE SOME VERY DEMANDING EXERCISES ON THE DAY. Over a thousand pupils took par t in the challenge so to reach the finals was an outstanding achievement. A huge congratulations to Isobel who came third in the competition. Isobel said:
“I knew after the final last year how much work it would take to get into the final round this year. I was always tr ying to beat my highest score , which motivated me to learn more of the language . I couldn’t believe it when I finished third.” Isobel’s mother Vicki added:
“To see Isobel’s face when she looked at the scoreboard at the end of the final round was an absolute joy. It has amazed me that just a bit of practice ever y day has resulted in her being able to speak and understand so many languages .” A delighted Mr s Heidi Garrett, Head of German, said of Isobel’s achievement.
“Watching the scoreboard in the final round was an intense experience and we were all on the edge of our seats . I am incredibly proud of Isobel; her hard work, commitment and determination have cer tainly paid off. The Junior Language Challenge is a fun way for children to learn different languages such as Por tuguese and Arabic . When they learn these languages suddenly German, French and Spanish do not seem so daunting! It also encourages them to learn about other cultures and countries .”
LAMDA SPEECH & DRAMA ALL PUPILS PASSED THEIR LAMDA (LONDON ACADEMY OF MUSIC & DRAMATIC ARTS) SPEECH AND DRAMA EXAMINATIONS WITH MERITS AND DISTINCTIONS. The exams, organised by ENTER CIC , help children to improve communication skills, increase self-confidence and develop strong social skills. Well done to ever yone , including Mr s Flynn and her team. Also a special mention goes to Mar yam who received the highest pass rate ever awarded by this examiner of 100%; this is tr uly a tremendous achievement. Andrea Flynn, Director of Enter CIC
“After proving an outstanding par tnership last year between Enter CIC and Red House School, with exemplar y results by Red House School pupils in 2014, the 2015 results have been even more impressive . The par tnership, once again, secured a 100% pass rate with most passing their discrete levels in the top decile , which is an incredible achievement. One of the pupils , Mar yam, even secured a Distinction grade with a 100% pass mark, which is the highest the external examiner had ever awarded”. Enter CIC’s Speech and Drama programme is an exciting way to suppor t our pupils in developing skills that can be used to help them achieve their professional and per sonal goals and aspirations. Activities and skills include: solo and group wor k, role play, memorising poems and prose , task-planning, per sonal organisation, peer-appraisal, as well as presenting wor k to peer s and professionals. It is an excellent vehicle for raising confidence levels in our children, encouraging attainment and complementing the core values of Red House School, as well as preparing them for the dynamic wor ld upon which they hope to make their mar k.

BEDE’S WORLD BY LUKE WITHAM - YEAR 2
YESTERDAY WE WENT ON OUR TRIP TO BEDE’S WORLD. THE REASON WHY WE WENT THERE IS BECAUSE IN R.E. WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT ST. BEDE. When we got there the lady introduced her self. Then we went to the farm. When we got there , there was a warning sign that said DO NOT TOUCH THE ANIMALS because they would bite your finger s so we listened and didn’t stroke the animals. After the lady showed us around the farm we stopped somewhere for lunch. After lunch we went to write with a quill feather and we were writing the abc. Next we had a look at the jobs that you could do. On a piece of paper we drew a job that we would like to do in the Anglo Saxon times. We crossed over the road to go to the monaster y and we dressed up as monks. We pretended that we were having a ser vice in Anglo Saxon times and woke up really ear ly. The lady did the ringer bell that was really loud. People asked lots of questions that were really interesting. She got a knife out and asked why they would use this so I had a guess. I really liked Bede’s Wor ld because it was really interesting. My favourite par t was dressing up as a monk and pretending to have a real ser vice in the Anglo Saxon time at 01.30.

All of the Year 10’s would like to thank the staff for their help and suppor t both for the expedition and for the Awards scheme in general. In par ticular we would like to thank Mr s Williamson for her co-ordination, to Mr Heaton and Miss Burel for their patience and training and to Mr Palmer for assessing us over the cour se of the expedition. One last question; should Year 9 and other year groups get involved in the scheme? Of cour se they should!

A FOND FAREWELL TO ... MR RICHARD MAY RICHARD MAY JOINED RED HOUSE AS DEPUTY HEADMASTER AND HEAD OF HISTORY IN SEPTEMBER 2009. He quickly established himself with colleagues, pupils and parents. His warm and caring nature and natural authority allowed him to develop the roll of Deputy Head. He is fondly remembered by colleagues for his sound advice . Richard May is a natural teacher, sharing his love of histor y,
MR JOHN CREWE JOHN CREWE JOINED RED HOUSE SCHOOL IN 1983 AND HAS DEVOTED HIS ENTIRE TEACHING CAREER TO THE SCHOOL. An accomplished hockey player he has ensured that Red House enjoys a deser ved reputation for producing spor tsmen of quality and integrity. He demanded high standards from all those he taught and gained the respect of the pupils due to his knowledge , professionalism and humour.
MISS LOUISE BESSEY LOUISE JOINED RED HOUSE SCHOOL IN 2009 AND SHE HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC ADDITION TO THE P.E. DEPARTMENT. During her time with us she has also became a mother to Isabella, Jack and Sophie . Whilst at the School, Louise has helped raise the profile of
MRS JULIE MAGSON JULIE MAGSON BEGAN WORKING AT RED HOUSE SCHOOL IN 2003. She was initially employed as an after school carer on a par t time basis super vising prep; this proved to be ver y successful as it was clear she was skilled at building strong relationships with the pupils she wor ked with. Julie’s enthusiasm for school life and her ability to liaise with staff were also great strengths. Her excellent organisational skills and wor k ethic were recognised by the science depar tment and she was asked if she would be interested in filling the post of science technician when it became vacant.
MRS AMANDA WALDOCK AMANDA WALDOCK JOINED RED HOUSE IN JANUARY 2011 AND MADE AN INSTANT IMPRESSION WITH BOTH STAFF AND PUPILS ALIKE, WITH HER INFECTIOUS PERSONALITY. She was excellent in her main role , which involved wor king one-to-one with a pupil. Mr s Waldock quickly demonstrated

whilst maintaining the behavioural lines that mar k a civilised community. His other passion, cricket, mar ked many an assembly. It was inevitable that a colleague of Richard’s calibre would in time wish to move on and lead a school of his own. So it came as no surprise when he was appointed to the Headship of Dur lston Cour t Preparator y School in Hampshire . We wish Richard and his wife Sarah along with Emily (Year 6) and Ben (Year 2) all the ver y best in their new life on the South Coast.
It is tr ue he could be a hard task master but he only ever pushed pupils to do their best and fulfil their potential. His insistence on a positive wor k ethic and an emphasis on good spor tsmanship has stayed with many of the pupils he taught. In his role as a form tutor he was responsible for inspiring his classes to par ticipate in the enter taining and informative assemblies he produced. Emily Bannatyne - Year 11
As many of you will know Mr Crewe is a talented ar tist and he has decided to take this oppor tunity to fur ther his ar tistic career. He will be sadly missed at Red House by both pupils and staff and we wish him ever y success in his new venture .

The U15 gir ls won the ISA Hockey Championships at the National Festival of Spor t in 2012 and both the U16’s & U14’s qualified for the Nor th East Semi-Finals on many occasions in her time at the school. With her infectious sense of humour and commitment to the children in her care she will be greatly missed. We wish Louise the ver y best of luck in her newly promoted role as Head of Gir ls P.E. at Cundall Manor School.
Initially she was apprehensive about being able to do the wor k successfully because she had no science background. However, after a shor t period of time it was apparent that her diligence and enthusiasm more than compensated for any lack of experience and she soon proved to be an invaluable asset to the depar tment. All the science staff were therefore devastated when Julie announced that she was to retire on health grounds.
Emily Stewar t - Year 11 Sophie Wall - Year 11
Her sense of humour, dedication, positive approach and indeed her warm and kind per sonality will be sorely missed by ever yone at Red House School, but especially the science depar tment. We wish Julie and her husband a long, happy and well-earned retirement.
that she could turn her hand to many things. Her ver satility whilst wor king at the Nur ser y & Infant School made her an invaluable member of staff. We could not express enough thanks to her for helping to makeg Christmas table decorations, when disaster seemed inevitable Her per sonality and dedication will be sorely missed, as will her ‘Barbara Windsor’ laugh! After four and a half year s at Red House Mr s Waldock made many friends for life and we all wish her ever y success for the future in her new employment.
During his time with us Mr Hutton, as Head of the ICT Faculty, had responsibility for the teaching of ICT across the whole School and had responsibility for e-Safety. We wish him all the ver y best for the future .

Through playing spor t, pupils have the oppor tunity to engage with their peer s in a more demanding environment and they also have to develop skills such as teamwor k and co-operation. The P.E. Depar tment encourages all pupils to par ticipate in some form of physical activity outside of school to help extend their spor ting talents, but also to develop their social skills. We are ver y proud of all pupils this season as they continue to embrace the challenge that physical activity brings, well done!
NETBALL There has been an abundance of netball success this season and it is also pleasing to report that many girls are playing the sport outside of school and the additional training is paying di vidends! Notable achievements to report on include:
GIRLS HOCKEY
U16’S A & B teams won the Stockton District League and Cup competitions this season. This was a fantastic achievement for all player s involved and they also managed to win the A & B District Tournaments.
U15’S Recorded a memorable and thrilling 16-14 victor y against Cundall Manor. An excellent display of determination and I hope all player s will look fondly on this match as one of their spor ting highlights of the year... it was definitely one of mine!
U14’S U14 A team were crowned Stockton League and Cup winner s. They were also r unner s up in the Stockton District Tournament. Well done to the Yr 9B team who were also r unner s up in the Stockton District Tournament.
U13’S Yr 8 A team were r unner s up in the Stockton District Tournament and the B team were 3rd.
U12’S U12 A team put in a thrilling performance and were crowned Champions of the Stockton District League . This League win meant they qualified for the Tees Valley Games in June – a County Tournament where they played Acklam Grange , Carmel College , Laurence Jackson & English Mar tyr s. This team were also r unner s up in Stockton Tournament so a ver y impressive season! Not to be outdone , the U12 B team were also crowned Champions of the Stockton District League and were r unner s up in the Challenge Cup.
Junior hockey clubs in the area have not been as buoyant as netball clubs in recent seasons. This has meant that young player s at Red House have found it difficult to extend their skills in a club setting. I am hoping the situation improves over the next year so that we can continue to help develop the standard of hockey within the County.
CLEVELAND COUNTY HOCKEY LEAGUE: U14’s

COUNTY TOURNAMENTS: U13’s were runners up in the Cleveland County Hockey Tournament. They then qualified to represent the County at the Nor th East Semi Finals at Pocklington School. The same team also came 4th out of 8 schools in the Durham Schools 7’s Tournament. Two ear ly defeats were rather costly but a late surge with a tremendous win against the eventual winner s (Terrington) made for a more respectable finish.
U11’s were also runners up in the Cleveland County Hockey Tournament and put in a f ine debut performance at the North-East Semi Finals at Barnard Castle School. The gir ls lost to Hymer s & RGS Newcastle and drew ever y other game (Barnard Castle , Scarborough College & Silcoates), which undoubtedly were games they had potential to win. A great experience for all player s; this team have a ver y exciting future in terms of their spor ting success at Red House!

The team led by Captain Lily Patrick were outstanding on the day. Lily (who plays football at Boro Ranger s FC) was undoubtedly a great influence in the team’s success at the festival and scored five goals. Red House played Cheadle Hulme and Hale Prep twice at this event. They won 2-1 and 4-0 against Cheadle Hulme and won 4-0 and 2-0 in the games against Hale Prep. Well done to our other sharp shooter s at the event: Ir yah Swati (5), Kathr yn Woolfall (1), Lily Cordwell-Smith (1) & Francesca Kardasz (1).

They also collected the trophy at the County 7 a-side tournament. The U13’s qualified for the Nor th East Finals at Harrogate School and narrowly missed out on a place in the Nor th Finals. Two convincing wins and two narrow defeats saw us into 3rd place .

Generall y the season went well; all teams played some superb attacking rugby. However, at times our defence was not as strong as it could have been.

BOYS SPORTS REPORT
The U10 and U11 sides have a good understanding of the game for boys of their age and it showed throughout the season. They were solid in defence , creative in midfield and always posed a threat in attack. Best performances came in victories against Queen Ethelburga’s and Durham Chorister s, indeed the U11’s went unbeaten until the final game of the season when they narrowly lost to NSFB. The U13’s were clinical in their finishing which enabled them to beat Aysgar th, Durham Chorister s, TSHS and NSFB. The senior sides were a little inconsistent but played well to beat NSFB at both U14 and U15 level and Cundall Manor at U15.
The U10’s and U11’s lack experience but I have no doubt that they will make quick progress if they continue to wor k with the enthusiasm they showed this year. They recorded a good victor y against QE and were a little unlucky to lose to Cundall Manor and NSFB. The U13’s were our most successful team going unbeaten and winning most of their games in considerable style . They star ted with a victor y against Terrington Hall and went on to beat Yarm, Cundall Manor, TSHS, Aysgar th, Argyle House and Durham Chorister s. This team has some player s of immense potential and I shall be interested to see how they develop over the next few year s. The senior sides played some ver y aggressive cricket, looking to score quickly at ever y oppor tunity. They beat TSHS, Argyle House and Cundall Manor in some style .
