Description
Reddish Hall School has an enviable reputation for enabling pupils who have struggled at previous schools to succeed. Small class sizes, a skilled staff team and a broad, engaging curriculum result in children learning in a calm and constructive manner.
Reddish Hall School is a co-educational school catering for pupils aged 5-18 with complex educational needs, communication difficulties and challenging behaviour- all of the young people have an Education Health Care Plan. The school accepts pupils with social, emotional and behavioural needs, though they may face additional challenges and diagnoses including ADHD, Asperger’s, SpLD, MLD, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Foetal Alcohol Syndrome or a variety of other conditions. Additionally, many of our pupils have serious social issues and very difficult home lives resulting in complex emotional difficulties. All pupils attending Reddish Hall School have individual needs that have proved too complex to be addressed within a mainstream setting. The school provides effective support and a suitably differentiated curriculum, enabling them to progress and succeed to the best of their ability.

KEY STAGE 3 CURRICULUM: The Key Stage 3 curriculum at Reddish Hall School is broad and balanced. It takes a lead from the National Curriculum and personalises it to the needs of our pupils. Pupils are in class groups of usually no more than six, with a teaching assistant who remains with them for most lessons, and pupils are placed into class groups according to need, whether that be ASC, where a very structured approach is required; mixed ability; or our learning support class, for pupils who aren’t quite ready for a KS3 curriculum and benefit from scaffolded learning and further differentiated texts. They also have a KS3 Nurture pathway, which is run on a primary model, and supports pupils who are not ready for the secondary set-up, focusing on building relationships, supporting mental health and lessening anxiety and consolidating and building on learning from KS2 whilst following the KS3 National Curriculum
KEY STAGE 4 CURRICULUM: Key Stage 4 at Reddish Hall aims to help children become ready for their next step through academic achievement, the development of skills – both social and vocational, and through promoting their independence, confidence and self-esteem. They celebrate the individual and encourage children’s personalities to flourish!All children study English, maths and science, with the intention they achieve a qualification that reflects their ability at that time. Pupils also have lessons in PSHE – a key subject at Reddish Hall – and PE, as well as the opportunities for enrichment which includes the Duke of Edinburgh Award. They endeavour that if a child has a particular interest and it is suitable for them to undertake it as a qualification, they will do what they can to support them with this. The Key Stage 4 Denstone Pathway follows a mainstream model, but with small – sometimes very small class sizes, they have run an option class with just one pupil! – and significant support. Pupils choose three option subjects as well as studying core skills. The list below is an example and may differ each year.
