Reddish Vale Technology College

As part of the college’s commitment to the welfare of students we encourage students to care for students. We firmly believe that students are often best placed to understand and assist each other, benefiting the emotional health and well-being of both.

We encourage our students to participate in the wider life of their communities both inside and outside of school, and this in turn encourages the development of a proactive and responsible attitude in our students. We also believe that through participation and helping others our students help to challenge any negative perceptions of our young people that others may have.

Student Council

The College Council was launched in 1998 and has had a long history of providing a voice for our students, as well as being a vehicle for their participation in the community.

The College Council is drawn from the widest cross-section of students from our community, reflecting the diversity of our student population. All tutor groups choose a representative to our Tutor Representatives Council, which in turn freely selects a smaller College Council.

Both ‘councils’ have a say in major decisions and developments in the college as well as fund raising and campaigning. Recent activities have included determining the menu’s for the new healthy school dinners, campaigning against bullying, consulting on the potential college re-build and improving the college environment.

The College Council provides a voice which is considered equal to all other stakeholder voices in and around the College. It is a valued and trusted voice which can improve the lives of students and the college.

The council also reflects our determination to put SEAL, Every Child Matters, Healthy Schools and Citizenship at the heart of our college, and it’s future.

For further details, or to make suggestions to the council please contact Mr. Jenkins at the college.
