I changed secondary schools during the GCSE year, to this school…read more.. When I did I have discovered that I am Dyslexic and during my free lessons I when to the Dyslexia Institute which is just around the corner from there. As a private school goes this place is pretty good, not excellent, but good. I had a huge amount of support and care that came individually, first from the head teacher of this school and then secondly from nearly every teacher that I had teach me. And they all new mine name and everyone else's, as did the head teacher. This school is a Nursery; a primary school, secondary school and you can do your A Levels here if you are clever enough, (so to speak) where as I could not. In the end I only achieved a C in Information Computer Technology, which I was lucky to get at all. They have smart expensive school uniform; which you have to pay for and you also have to pay a large sum of money every so often. They do a lot of sport at Kings Monkton which is a school that reminds me of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter, fantasy novel series. They had a small library when I was there and the type of wood that surrounded it reminds me of Hogwarts, as does one part of the school which has a deep; oak, brown wood which made me think and dream that I was walking down the castle corridors. Overall I do recommend it as a great school to attend, if your clever than me academically you will get on fine there particularly. It also has a new, more moderner complex, which is really posh. I had private singing lessons there and you can also have private music lessons, during spare class time; which is costly pricey too, but worth it.

Being one of the many Bristol-based independent schools, Red Maids' seem to be a good choice…read more However, you cannot judge a book by its cover. Likewise, you cannot judge a school by league tables, and seeing it on open days. It is a single gender school - aimed at females only. This may appeal to various parents. However there are others with better facilities and teaching. On experience, I have found Red Maids' tends to focus on a few select core students, rather than the wider individuals there. Particularly, those who go onto Oxford or Cambridge University. This is notable in the approach of some of the staff. Furthermore, despite implementing some anti-bullying rules for students. They are surprisingly lax about making all students feel welcome. If you're looking for a good independent school, you're better off going to Badminton, Redland, or Colstons.

My daughter has attended this school for a number of years. She chose the school from a range of…read morelocal and co-ed schools. Red maids was her choice above all others. The selection process to enter the school at year 7 re-enforced the importance of working hard to achieve your objectives. My daughter has worked hard to achieve the results she has obtained. The teachers are responsive and relate to the pupils as young adults. The pastoral care has been demonstrated effectively to my daughter and her friends which has been consistent through her school experience. There was an episode of bullying which my daughter was a target. However the rapport she had developed with the teachers enabled her to contact her year group lead directly, and the matter was resolved swiftly and conclusively. My daughter has, and continues to enjoy every day at the school and is intending on completing 6th form with this school. I would consider this school as a true investment in education, wellbeing and a catalyst for establishing and maintaining an effective moral compass for young adults.
