Reddish Vale High School

What Reddish Vale High School does

Reddish Vale High School is a state-funded secondary school located on Reddish Vale Road in Reddish, Stockport, United Kingdom, serving students in Years 7 through 11 (typically aged 11–16) under the Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 curriculum. The school is part of the Achieve and Learn Trust multi-academy trust and is registered in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee (company number 08137701), operating as an exempt charity. It delivers a comprehensive curriculum across 19+ subject areas including English, Mathematics, Science, Modern Foreign Languages, Humanities, Arts, and vocational subjects such as Animal Care, Travel & Tourism, Health & Social Care, and Child Development. Beyond the core curriculum, the school offers extra-curricular programs including the Duke of Edinburgh Award, an on-site School Farm (housing alpacas, sheep, a bearded dragon named Spike, and horticulture), and a Music Development Plan.

The school's core technology stack is built entirely on third-party educational platforms rather than proprietary systems: Microsoft Office 365, Google Classroom, Class Charts (behavioural and academic tracking), CPOMS (safeguarding), School Cloud (parents' evenings), the SHARP system, Learning Gateway, and Revision Hub, supported by website infrastructure from e4education (Juniper Education). The institution is a consumer, not a producer, of edtech, with no disclosed AI/ML, API, or SDK capabilities.

Commercially, Reddish Vale High School does not charge tuition; revenue derives from UK government per-pupil funding routed through Stockport local authority and the Achieve and Learn Trust, supplemented by capital grants (notably a 2025 Department for Education roof replacement award). Admissions occur exclusively via the government process, with an active transition program from feeder primary schools and annual open events. The school runs a CEIAG (Careers Information, Advice and Guidance) program with employer partners (RVHS Associates) and external schemes including Our Pass and GMACS, alongside pastoral and wellbeing initiatives such as Proud Thursday, the RADI Award scheme, and LGBTQ+ inclusion support. No headcount, enrollment, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed in the available data.
