Red House Academy (RHA, formerly Hylton Red House School) is an 11–16 mixed secondary school with academy status in Hylton Red House, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England. It was formerly a community school and adopted its present name after becoming an academy in 2009. It is part of the Northern Education Trust.[2][3]
In 2007, the school attracted controversy regarding a training programme for call centre operators. The programme was set up in conjunction with EDF Energy which has a call centre in the area. For pupils, successful completion of the course provided half of the credit of a GCSE examination. Local adults were also able to participate. The assistant headteacher, Helen Elderkin, claimed the programme was successful, providing students with "a taste of a real working environment" and helping to build their confidence. However, Howard Brown, Sunderland secretary of the National Union of Teachers, criticized it as "a step too far".[4]
Serious question were raised about the school's approach to its pupils when it was revealed that they suspended over 50% of their pupils in 2017–2018 against a national average of 2.3%.[5]
