School tops table

Redmaids’ High School has  been named by The Times today as the top school in Bristol for academic performance.

This latest league table ranks all state and independent schools based on GCSE, A Level, and IB Diploma results from the summer of 2024. It is the third year in a row that the girls’ school in Westbury-on-Trym has been given this title.

Headteacher Paul Dwyer said: “To be named the top school in Bristol and achieve such a high regional ranking for the third year in a row is exceptional.

“It is a huge team effort to ensure that our students receive such an outstanding all-round education every day, and this recognition is a brilliant testament to that. What a wonderful addition to our celebrations this year, as we mark 390 years of excellence in girls’ education.”
