Redhill Academy
About Redhill Academy
Redhill Academy sits within Nottinghamshire’s secondary landscape as one of only three schools in the local authority to hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating, out of 46 state secondaries. It ranks alongside Rushcliffe Spencer Academy, The West Bridgford School, and Carlton le Willows Academy as the top-performing peers in the area, though its own ranking score isn’t provided in the data. Headteacher Michael Hardy leads a large mixed 11-18 school in Gedling, with 1,577 pupils on roll. The school has no religious character, and its Outstanding grade places it in a small, select group locally — a useful signal for parents weighing up options in a competitive secondary market where most schools don’t reach that top tier.
