Extra-curricular activities: Across the whole School, an extensive programme of clubs, societies and volunteering offer students important personal development and unparalleled enrichment outside of the classroom. The opportunities encourage students to discover and explore passions, build confidence, develop transferable skills and become well-rounded individuals.
Pastoral care: At the heart of the School, is an exceptional pastoral care system where staff members can prioritise students’ academic growth, while simultaneously creating a nurturing space where they can feel secure, can develop self-confidence and cultivate compassion for others.
The Heads of Year and Tutors work closely with teachers and parents to create an environment where students can thrive academically and pastorally. Should students need, the School also have a dedicated team of professional nurses and expert counsellors on hand every day, offering a supportive and caring environment that allows for open conversation about any physical, emotional, social or academic challenges that students may experience.
Outstanding characteristics: Redmaids’ High is renowned for its nurturing environment, fostering not just academic excellence, but also well-rounded and confident young adults. Bursaries and scholarships are awarded (at Senior School entry points) to students from all backgrounds, and the School is grounded in a strong sense of community where each girl is valued, supported and empowered to achieve her fullest potential.
