Rich history of excellence

Redhill School’s story began in 1907 as St Winifred’s School for Girls in Yeoville, Johannesburg. A major shift occurred in 1968 when the Damelin Group transformed it from a small girls’ school of 150 students into a co-ed institution with 630 learners.

Their legacy of excellence continues with Redhill’s impressive 2024 matric results. The school achieved a 100% bachelor’s degree pass rate, offering both IEB and International Baccalaureate qualifications. Students averaged 3.5 distinctions each, earning an outstanding total of 309 distinctions.
