Awarded highest rating by The Telegraph for value-for-money

Landscape The Telegraph GCSE Value for Money without logoThis summer, students at Redmaids’ High School GDST attained incredible exam results with 53% of A Level grades achieved A*-A and 82% of grades achieved at A*-B. GCSE results were equally impressive with 63% of grades awarded 9-8 (A* - A) and 82% of grades awarded 9-7. This puts us well ahead of national averages but also cements our position as a leading independent school in Bristol.

Our strong academic performance has also been recognised externally. The Sunday Times has named Redmaids’ High the top Bristol school for academic performance for the past four years, while The Telegraph has rated our results this year as ‘very good’ – its highest possible rating within its value-for-money measures. Further details of these findings can be seen in the graphics attached.

"While we set high expectations for every girl, we recognise that success is best achieved with balance, well-being and a genuine sense of belonging. With strong academic guidance alongside exceptional pastoral care and the opportunity to explore interests beyond the classroom, our students are able to flourish, and these results are a wonderful reflection of that.”

At Redmaids’ High, we know that when students are happy, fulfilled and actively supported pastorally, excellent results follow. This year’s results reinforce this, and we thank all our families for their continued support of our school.
