Parents' Forum

As soon as your child starts at Reddish Vale High School we welcome you to join our Parents’ Forum.  The Parents’ Forum has been established for four years and contributes regularly and positively to the development of school policy.  

The purpose of the Parents’ Forum is to work in partnership with Reddish Vale High School to comment on our curriculum, communication, website and homework. In addition, we would like parents to help to promote the school by publicising and helping out at school events such as Open Evenings, Consultation Evenings and School Productions etc. 

The Parents’ Forum would normally meet five times per year and new members are very welcome. Members of the forum are invited to request agenda items prior to each meeting and the school will schedule other discussion points for information and consultation. 

 If you are interested in joining the Parents’ Forum please contact Lynn Moores​​​​​​ by emailing
 l.moores@reddish.stockport.sch.uk In the first instance.
