What The Good Schools Guide says..
All girls are taught in their own classrooms – subject teachers come to them – so they benefit from having their own desks and drawers for topic work. The curriculum is firmly based on literacy: a well-stocked library lies at the heart of the school and lays on voluntary themed reading months. These girls are busy but not too busy – and don’t they love it: ‘You can basically do anything here!’ rave the girls. Our enquiry about the worst things at school was met with…

Headteacher
Since 2015, Lisa Brown. Following her degree in psychology from Leicester, she joined the NHS as a graduate trainee in HR, despite ‘everyone telling me I should be a teacher’, she smiles wryly. It wasn’t long before she enrolled on a PGCE at Oxford Brookes, her first job being a year 7 class teacher at a school in Aylesbury. The offer from Redmaids’ in her home city of Bristol proved too hard to resist and, having sworn she would give it two years and move on, 26 years later, she is still there. A product of mixed state schooling herself, she admits, ‘I wasn’t sure about single sex education' - but is now totally convinced.

Special Education Needs
At Redmaids’ High Junior School we respond to every child’s individuality. We aim to develop the academic ability of pupils from many different backgrounds and cultures and to realise the potential of each child by equipping them with the skills and knowledge to succeed in a changing world. We recognize that some pupils, due to specific learning differences, experience difficulties in their learning, or have a disability that presents a barrier to them making the same progress as most children of their age. Others may need temporary help to develop their language skills if English is not their first language. We also recognise that some pupils need different provisions made for them because they advance much more quickly than most children of their age. We routinely assess the needs of each pupil and if progress is not as expected then targeted learning support is planned, this may include specialist 1-1 support. Should a concern be on-going, despite targeted intervention, the specialist teacher may administer a fuller assessment using specialist tests and an Individual Education Plan (IEP) will be made to detail the provision of support moving forward.
