Redborne is a highly successful and popular school of approxi-
mately 1,500 students. Our Sixth Form is large with over 400 stu-
dents, of whom around 80% annually go onto university including
Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell Group universities.
We have maintained our OFSTED ‘outstanding’ rating since 2008
and have recently had a ‘Section 8’ inspection in June 2015. Our
results are some of the best in the country and our A Level results
are better than many fee paying and selective schools. As a result
of our high performance, we have been awarded Leading Edge
Status and are recognised by the National College as a Leader-
ship Development School.
We hope you will find this prospectus informative and
helpful, a lot more information is also available on our
website. At a time of considerable change in education, we
have tried to describe Redborne and give you an

out more.
