Redmaids' High named by The Sunday Times as top Bristol school for third year in a row

We are absolutely delighted to have been named by The Sunday Times today as the top school in Bristol for academic excellence.

This latest league table ranks all state and independent schools based on GCSE, A Level and IB Diploma results from the summer 2024, and it is the third year in a row that we have been given this title and ranked in the top ten in the South-West.

This recognition is an excellent reflection of our students' high academic aspirations and the exceptional support of our teachers, parents and all members of our community who work closely together to provide the very best environment for our students to thrive. 

Our Head Mr Dwyer said, "To be named the top school in Bristol and achieve such a high regional ranking for the third year in a row is exceptional. Whilst I am incredibly proud of the academic offering that our students receive at Redmaids' High, we know that they wouldn't be able to excel in this area without expert pastoral support, a wide variety of enrichment opportunities and the freedom to find balance between their studies and all other areas and interests in their lives, both at school and beyond.

"It is a huge team effort to ensure that our students receive such an outstanding all-round education every day, and today's recognition is a brilliant testament to that. What a wonderful addition to our celebrations this year as we mark 390 years of excellence in girls' education."

We are proud to be recognised as a leader in girls' education. As the oldest girls’ school in the country, this year, we proudly celebrate 390 years of girls' education and look forward to joining the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) family of schools next February, a well-respected organisation committed to advancing girls’ education. Becoming a member of this network, which includes some of the top girls’ schools in the UK, will help us continue to provide innovative education, ensuring that every girl who walks through our doors develops the confidence and skills she needs to be happy and capable in any field she chooses.
