Hundreds take part in parade

-

HUNDREDS of pupils have marked the founding of their school with a march through a city centre as part of a grand tradition dating back centuries.

Led by the head girls from Redmaids’ High, more than 700 students aged between seven to 18 walked through Bristol.

The walk, which is part of the annual Founders’ Commemorat­ion Day, is a tradition dating back to the 1790s and sees alumnae, parents and the public line the route.

Head Paul Dwyer said it was still very important to students, staff, and the wider school community. He said: “This is an extremely important day for us as we gather to celebrate the heritage of Redmaids’ High School.”
