Rye Hills School is a secondary school located in Redcar in the UK. The school holds specialist Sports College status. The LEA in charge of the school is Redcar & Cleveland.
[edit] History
The school originally opened in 1975 as a merger of two neighbouring schools, Redcar Lane Secondary Modern (always called "Warwick Road") and Cleveland Grammar School, a girls' school. The new first year pupils of 1975/6 were the first intake under the comprehensive system.
The first headmistress was Patricia Rutherford, the first deputy head was Geoff Curtis. The current headmaster is Hamish Joyce.
The school was demolished and rebuilt on the same site in 2001. The new building was opened by Tony Blair.
In April 2008, it was announced that along with 114 other schools, Rye Hills was accepted onto the government's trust school programme and they will work towards that status.[1]
