The latest Parent Power league table ranks all state and independent schools based on GCSE, A Level and IB Diploma results from the summer 2023.  We are the highest ranked Bristol school in the table for a second year in a row, ranked fourth place in the South West and 66th nationally - 14 places higher than last year. An incredible achievement! Our Head Mr Dwyer said, "Whilst these results of course don't paint the whole picture of our commitment to helping students thrive and feel happy in all aspects of their lives, it is a wonderful reflection of our students' high academic aspirations.  "To be the top school in Bristol and achieve such a high regional ranking for the second year in a row, is a true testament to the strong and trusted relationships that are fostered between our students and staff, and their continued passion and dedication to reach full academic potential together. “Everyone who is part of our Redmaids' High community should feel very proud of this particular recognition today." We will soon celebrate our 390th birthday, and we are proud that centuries on we continue to offer an outstanding and forward-thinking education for girls. This achievement however is just one facet of the outstanding all-round education that we offer. By providing expert and innovative teaching environments, extensive extra-curricular provision and pastoral care of the highest standard, we enable our students to truly thrive in all areas of their lives and make the most of the world-class facilities and progressive range of opportunities available to them.
