}}Redland High School for Girls was a selective and independent, non-denominational girls' school in the suburb of Redland, Bristol, England. The school merged with The Red Maids' School in September 2017, with the new merged school named Redmaids' High School and based at the Red Maids' site in Westbury-on-Trym.[1]

Admissions

Redland High School admitted girls aged 3–18 years and also boys aged 3–6 from 2014–17

History

Redland High School was founded in 1882. The senior school is housed in an old manor-house known as Redland Court which dates from 1732-35. It was built by John Strachan for John Cossins and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building,[2] which has undergone many extensions. In October 2006, a building previously belonging to the Junior School was converted into the Music School, expanding the senior school once again. In 2014, they opened an Early Years Foundation Stage Building in conjunction with nearby boys school, QEH.

Site

The school was spread across five sites: the Senior school, on Redland Court Road; the Music School, also on Redland Court Road; the Junior School, opposite the Senior school; the Sixth form house, on Woodstock Road; and the PE field at Golden Hill.

Following the closure of the school, the Senior School site, along with the Sixth Form House / Bursary was sold, partially demolished and turned into housing[3][4][5] with the Junior School site in Grove Park turned into a day nursery[6] and the Music School converted into a wellness centre and medical clinic[7]

Houses

The house system was in place from 2003, and there were four houses. These are Maple (red), Chestnut (yellow), Willow (green) and Rowan (blue). House captains are elected by each house respectively from Year 13. There were also two House Vice-captains from Year 12 and two sports captains from Year 10. In addition, a member of staff serves as Head of House on a permanent, unelected basis.

Uniform

The Redland senior school uniform consisted of a dark green blazer, a tartan skirt, a navy jumper, and a white shirt. For games there was a red shirt and a green skirt. Sixth formers wore their own clothes.
