Redland High School for Girls, Bristol
Redland High School is an Independent school situated in a conservation area within inner Bristol. The
new building therefore needed to fit with the needs of the school, the Planning Authority and the local
residents’ association.
The building was designed in close liaison with the Junior School Head & Bursar, both of whom were
taken at an early stage to view a number of Rollalong’s other recent projects and to speak directly with
the end users.
Following this consultation stage, a mono-pitch roof was specified, together with a treated timber
vertical overlap cladding system, drawing on fi nishes acceptable to the Planning Authority and liked by
the school.
The internal layout was fine tuned by the Junior School Head, providing uni-sex WC space,
a kitchenette, an accessible WC and a hygiene room, in addition to 3 good sized classrooms (2 of which
are interlinked via a large double door). Extensive circulation and storage space is provided by the extra
wide corridor linking rooms within the building.
