Redland High School was founded in 1882. 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 school is spread across five sites: the Senior school, on Redland Court Road; the Music School, also on Redland Court Road; the Junior School, opposite the Senior school; the Sixth form house, on Woodstock Road; and the PE field at Golden Hill.
The house system has been in place since 2003, and there are four houses. These are Maple (red), Chestnut (yellow), Willow (green) and Rowan (blue). House captains are elected by each house respectively from Year 13. There are also two House Vice-captains from Year 12 and two sports captains from Year 10. In addition, a member of staff serves as Head of House on a permanent, unelected basis.
The Redland senior school uniform consists of a dark green blazer, a tartan skirt, a navy jumper, and a white shirt. For games there is a red shirt and a green skirt. Sixth formers wear their own clothes.
