History
Founded in 1882, Redland High School has been providing exceptional education for girls for over 130 years, and continues to be one of the top independent girls' schools in the South West. The senior school is housed in an old manor-house known as Redland Court which dates from 1732-35. It was built by John Strachan for John Cossins and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building, which has undergone many extensions. In October 2006, a building previously belonging to the Junior School was converted into the Music School, expanding the senior school once again. In 2014, they opened an Early Years Foundation Stage Building in conjunction with nearby boys school, QEH. The building, designed and constructed by Rollalong Design, is an environmentally sympathetic extension to Redland High Junior School’s existing building and has enabled Redland High School to offer an extra 24 places for boys and girls at Early Years Foundation Stage, with a natural progression to QEH for the boys in Year 3.
