About Redmaids’ High School, GDST
Occupying a spacious, green and open site near to Bristol city centre, Redmaids’ High School is the oldest girls’ school in Britain with a history that dates back to 1634. Formed out of a merger between the Red Maids’ School and Redland High School in 2016, we are one of the leading independent day schools in the UK. We offer an exceptional educational experience for girls and young women from 7 to 18 years, focused on aspiration, inclusivity, happiness and support for others. This has earned us year on year placement in the top schools’ rankings for our GCSE and A level results. A true all-through school, there is an incredibly close link between Junior and Senior Schools, with the vast majority of junior students (90%+) moving into Year 7 each year.
A proud member of the Girls' Day School Trust, the leading family of girls’ schools in the UK, we share a common ethos and commitment to fearless, girls’-first education, supporting staff and students alike through collaboration and empowerment across the network.
We are fortunate to have superb facilities across our interlinked Junior and Senior School sites. Our dedicated Sixth Form Centre provides first-rate quiet study and recreation space, while the main hall provides an outstanding venue for productions and concerts. We are equally proud of our sporting facilities including ‘The Lawns’, our specialist sports site for hockey, netball, cricket, tennis and athletics, which underpins our teams’ regular sporting successes at regional and national level.
Redmaids’ High is an inclusive environment, and we continue to take steps to enhance and improve our diversity and equality of opportunities. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
Mission Statement
Redmaids’ High is an inclusive community, based on happiness, aspiration, and support for others.
Our statement is supported by our Values, which outline the core aspects that will help us fulfil our mission. These are:
- To know and understand each individual student.
- To help students to understand themselves and their strengths.
- To inspire students to forge a future of lifelong learning, in all its guises
Our mission and values are simple, and deliberately so. We are proud of the achievements and destinations for all of our students, and this is the result of the hard work by all members of the 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 difference in their 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.
The GDST are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection checks appropriate to the post, including online searches, and checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from all qualified individuals. To be eligible for employment, candidates must provide proof of their right to work in the UK.
