Reddam House is an independent, co-educational, non-denominational, day school, located in Woollahra (pre-school to Year 9) and Bondi (Years 10 to 12), both Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Reddam House was acquired by Inspired Education Group in 2019. It subsequently switched to for-profit status and now receives no government funding.[2]
The school was launched in Sydney by Graeme Crawford in June 2000, who had founded Crawford College, South Africa in 1992. It was established following a major renovation at the previous Taylors College in North Bondi.
The school attracted media attention with reports 36 percent of students, six times the state average, received "special consideration" in the 2006 HSC.[3] Reddam House has also received media attention for being the only non-selective school to achieve a top 10 ranking in the NSW HSC of 2013, 2016, 2018 and 2019.[4][5]
History[]
Reddam House started as a Years 7 to 11 school in 2001 at the current Bondi Campus. The school grew quickly and a new campus at Woollahra, near the Bondi Junction train and bus terminals, was opened in 2003. The new Woollahra Campus enabled the opening of the Reddam House Primary School (Years K to 6) and the restructuring of the High School into a High School (Woollahra) and a Senior School (Bondi). The Woollahra campus is also home to the Early Learning School, accepting children from 1 years of age.
Facilities[]
The Reddam House Bondi Campus hosts Years 10, 11 and 12. The Woollahra Campus hosts pre-school to Year 9. Reddam also has brother schools started by members of the Crawford family. In Cape Town, South Africa Reddam Atlantic Seaboard and Reddam Constantia were started by Sheena Crawford-Kempster. In Johannesburg, South Africa Reddam, Bedfordview (Main Campus and BCC Campus) were started by Robert Crawford and Dalene Quayle.[citation needed]
