Redruth School is a secondary school and sixth form college in Redruth, Cornwall, for 1,200 students aged 11 to 18. It was formed in 1976 by the merger of Redruth Grammar School and Tolgus Secondary School. Redruth School has emerged as a strong and more successful establishment after a period which involved some negative publicity and underperformance. Staff and students have enjoyed recent successes with 2010 GCSE results predicted to place the school in the top 25% of similar schools nationally. Regular assemblies are held for many different years; also there are four houses (Murdoch, Marconi, Brunel and Holman) competing for the house cup.

The sports fields of the school are also used as a venue for the Westward League Cross Country running competitions once a year.
