Here at Reddish Vale High school, we have many events taking place throughout the academic year. See our latest news and events here.
Join us for our Open Evening, an opportunity to have a tour of the school; to meet our staff, prefects and pupils and to see our excellent school facilities.
The evening will provide you with an insight into our teaching and learning and extra-curricular activities on offer here at Reddish Vale High School.
This morning, a group of Year 8 farm club pupils arrived at school early and set about cleaning and organising the safety boots without being asked to do it, and were rightly proud of the result.
Our Year 7 and 8 intervention groups have been busy! This week, they designed, built and painted a fantastic bowl holder for our duck and chicken area, using 100% recycled wood. They then installed it in the quad, creating a practical and sustainable addition to our school environment.
As well as growing vegetables in our polytunnel, our Farm pupils also take responsibility for caring for the flowers and shrubs in our reception area. They take great pride in helping to keep our school looking welcoming and vibrant. They are now looking forward to getting involved in further planting projects around the school, adding colour, creativity and interest to our outdoor spaces.
The morning and after-school clubs on Mondays and Tuesdays have been extremely popular with our Year 7 pupils. Due to the high demand, we have added another session on Wednesday afternoon, although only a few spaces remain.
To ensure that all Year 7 pupils have the opportunity to take part, the clubs will operate on a six-week rotation, giving everyone the chance to enrol and enjoy the activities.
Our pupils have been busy preparing a raised bed in the polytunnel and planting a selection of winter vegetables, including broccoli and cabbage. They are looking forward to watching their plants grow and seeing the progress they make over the coming weeks.
Please find the first Headteacher's Bulletin of this academic year below. It includes a message from Mr Moroney, as well as an update from the Geography department, and a section about the Year 8 PGL trip that took place earlier this week.
On 17th September Year 9 pupils took part in a World of Work Day, where professionals across a variety of areas including healthcare, education, engineering and the RAF delivered talks about career options within their sectors.
The pupils were engaged throughout and were able to gain insight into some of the careers that are open to them.
Year 7 pupils enjoyed an action-packed first session of our brand-new Comic Con Club on Wednesday. The afternoon was filled with fun, creativity, and friendly competition, including a quiz packed with questions on everything from Sonic the Hedgehog and Minecraft to Star Wars and Mjolnir, with prizes for our quiz champions.
Pupils also began creating their own unique comic books before enjoying a special preview of the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday trailer.
If you're a Year 7 pupil with a passion for Marvel, DC, Anime, gaming, movies, sci-fi or comics, we'd love to see you there! Speak to Miss Slater for further details.
Comic Con Club meets every Wednesday from 3:00pm to 3:50pm in M5 (next to the Year 7 office). Come and join the fun!

Last week we welcomed an APHA (Animal and Plant Health Agency) officer to the farm for a routine inspection. We are delighted to report that she was extremely pleased with the high standards maintained across the farm, including our animal care, storage, labelling, and hygiene practices.
Year 7 pupils enjoyed a practical recycling project, repurposing a broken broom head into a handy boot cleaner for the farm. They developed their practical skills by sawing, drilling, and using screwdrivers, and were proud to create such a useful item entirely from recycled materials.
Our pupils have also been adding some fantastic photographs to our growing farm collection, which will soon be printed and displayed around the farm unit. Pictured here is Spike, our much-loved bearded dragon, who continues to be a firm favourite with the pupils.
Y7 and Y8 pupils are delighted that the latest tomato plants are coming along really well after an earlier batch failed. They were determined to try again and grew these from seeds and moved them to the plant beds where they are thriving.
Pupils have been taking some great pictures of the farm animals in order to brighten up the farm unit - there are some great results!
In the hot weather, the alpacas like nothing more than a light sprinkle down with our water hose, and pupils snapped a fantastic picture of Espresso enjoying a cooling shower.
Also, Year 7 pupils have enjoyed putting up some new hayracks for the alpacas and sheep. They decided to put an extra wooden beam to support the bottom of them. The pupils enjoyed measuring, cutting and fixing the recycled wood beams they fitted to make them sturdier, and they are really proud of the results.
