School Philosophy: Redmaids’ High is an inclusive community, based on happiness, aspiration, and support for others. We are proud of the achievemen­ts and destinatio­ns for all our students, and this is the result of the hard work by all members of the Redmaids’ High community to ensure that students feel known and valued for who they are, as well as inspired about what they can be. We want all students to leave with the strong sense that they can go on and make a di erence in the world, whatever they go on to do. A student’s definition of success is their own, but what we instill in them is a feeling that their sights should never be lowered by external forces.

Extra-curricular: We o er an extensive programme of clubs and societies for students of all ages with an average of 30 extra-curricular activities on o er each week. Ranging from robotics club, and creative writing to numerous musical and sports clubs, our extracurri­cular provision o ers something for everyone.
