About Reaseheath College

Reaseheath College has a mixed picture when it comes to what parents think. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, 67% of parents said they would recommend the school to other families. That’s a solid majority, but the survey also reveals some clear areas of concern. For instance, while 70% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, only 47% felt that concerns are dealt with properly, and just 42% agreed that the school gives SEND children the support they need. On the plus side, 93% of parents agreed there is a good range of subjects available, and 95% said their child can take part in clubs and activities. The school is also oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 377 applications for 234 places, with an oversubscription ratio of 1.61, and 231 of those offers went to first-preference applicants.
