Governance

Reddish Vale became a specialist Technology College in 1995, being one of the first LEA schools in the country to do so. It was the first school in the United Kingdom to adopt the Co-operative College's co-operative -based model for trust school governance in 2007. Within a year, a further 25 schools adopted the model as one offering strong values and extensive engagement of all stakeholders within the learning community.
