You should book appointments using School Cloud. Information on how to do so can be found below. Appointments will be 5 minutes long for each member of staff you book with.
New for September 2024 – Further Professional Learning (FPL) sessions on a Wednesday morning available to all staff to ensure we as a staff body are constantly striving to be better every single day! The sessions will cover a range of areas that impact pupil’s ability to learn and so will prepare staff with a whole range of strategies and resources to further improve pupil progress. We are really excited to get started!
On Wednesday 27th November from 4pm to 5.30pm, our Class of 2024 are welcome to come into school to collect their GCSE certificates and catch up with their teachers and friends from school.
This week, pupils have been prepping the barns to house the animals at night as the temperature drops and winter properly sets in. The pupils painted lines on the floor as a guide to mark the bedding areas in each pen, which will be useful when cleaning and refilling the pens.
Various groups of pupils also made another boot cleaner after one of the brushes broke in the morning and by the afternoon, they added offcuts of wood and finished it ready for painting.
In addition to this, the Y8 pupils working on the allotment project have been working extremely hard, repurposing steel fence panels from the chicken quad and bringing them over to the farm to hopefully prevent any of the animals from eating the growing produce! The pupils are very enthusiastic and come in early to start promptly at 8am! It’s great to see so many pupils cooperating, bringing their own ideas and enjoying the work they are doing for the farm.
We have achieved the BIG Award Excellence in challenging bullying for the third year in a row - what a huge success! You can read a snippet from the official feedback we received below:
Parents and Carers, please look out for an email from Miss Hall regarding an upcoming Maths trip to Disneyland Paris. Please check your junk folder.
If you have not received the email by 4pm on Friday 8th November, please email Miss Hall directly at r.hall@reddish.stockport.sch.uk
Pupils have been busy on the farm this week cleaning in and around the barns in preparation for the animals to go in at night throughout the winter months. They have also been very busy cleaning out the fish tank and the dragon and snake vivariums. Y8 pupils have also enjoyed bathing the guinea pigs and shampooing and grooming the pony.
We also had toast donations from the canteen for the alpacas and many pumpkin donations following Halloween, which Mabel enjoyed as an extra special treat.
Farm club is very popular amongst our pupils and it is lovely to see so many of them enjoying it week on week.
Thursday 31st October was grand opening of our brand new 3G Astroturf!
We were delighted to welcome Stockport County FC Manager, Dave Challinor, Club Secretary Jane Morley, representatives from the Football Foundation, Manchester SA, Stockport Council and former Reddish Vale PE staff.
Following the meet and greet with football team captains and vice captains, precession, ribbon-cutting ceremony and speeches, the Years 7, 8, 9 and Girl’s football teams all had the opportunity to use the Astroturf for the very first time.
A massive thank you to all of our special guests for sharing this special event with us.

The Year 8 allotment project is coming along well. Pupils have been helping to make the perimeter from bricks and old flags and have rotated the top soil in preparation for some sowing next half term.
Also, some old off cuts were used to make a sturdy little table/footstool. All the work of sawing, drilling, screwdriving, painting etc is the work of our pupils.
Finally, the guinea pigs have been able to enjoy a rare bit of October sunshine.
