School Trips
Here at Reddish Vale High School, we take great pride in the vast array of additional opportunities we are able to provide to pupils.
Learning inside the classroom is the key success in GCSE's, but we also believe that so much more knowledge and skills can be developed beyond the classroom.
Chester Zoo
Year 7 and 8 pupils visited Chester Zoo on 7th November to look at conservation and habitats as part of their Geography study. Pupils represented the school brilliantly, showing our school values of respect and independence throughout the day!
What a wonderful way to bring the Geography curriculum to life!
Black History Month Lecture
On 10th November some of our pupils visited the University of Manchester to listen to Professor David Olusoga's Black History Month lecture. The pupils found the lecture insightful and were a real credit to our school.
Clarendon College
On 11th November a group of Year 10 Photography pupils visited Clarendon College to participate in a photography workshop, where they did different photo shoots and then edited their work digitally.
We received some lovely feedback from the college, who said that our students were fantastic: engaged, curious, and proud of what they created.
Thank you to Clarendon College for giving our students this amazing opportunity.
Disneyland Paris
Some of our Y10 pupils have visited Disneyland Paris, where they explored the business side of Disneyland Paris, applied Physics concepts, and learnt various Maths skills essential for a theme park's operations. Free time was a blast with rides galore!
Shrewsbury Prison
On 27th November, some of our Year 8 pupils visited Shrewsbury Prison to support our Crime & Justice unit of learning. Shrewsbury Prison closed as a working prison in 2013 and is now an immersive and educational tourist attraction. As the most interactive prison in the world, visitors have access to all areas to discover what life was really like behind bars. Pupils participated in a guided tour, had an educational workshop exploring how crime and punishment has changed over the years, and took part in an escape room activity. The pupils' behaviour was exemplary. The prison staff commented that they were one of the most engaged groups of pupils they'd seen.
