Bristol: Clifton High or Redmaid's

[SunnyMummy99]

Hi everyone,

My daughter and I are moving to Bristol soon and I am looking at either Clifton High or Redmaid's for her (BGS has no space in Y6 and I have discounted Badminton and Clifton College because she would be a day pupil so have concerns about her feeling left out).

I would love to hear your thoughts on the two schools - have you had children who are happy there? Is there a good balance between academics and pastoral care? Do the schools have good reputations locally? Do their families generally live close by? Apart from the Co-Ed vs All Girls, are there any features that differentiate them?? Can we just go with which we get the best feel for? My daughter's been at her current primary school since nursery so it's a big step!

Thank you for any input!

Clifton High has excellent pastoral care and a more nurturing environment. Redmaids more pressured for exam results.
