Contents

It has no sixth form, similar to most schools in the Borough of Dudley, and all schools in Stourbridge. It is situated just east of the single-track Stourbridge Town Branch Line.

History

It was formed in September 1976, when Stourbridge Boys' Grammar School and Stourbridge Girls' High School in the town centre merged with Lye Secondary Modern School in the Lye area. [2] These former schools were administered by Worcestershire Education Committee until 1974.

The new school was located entirely at the grammar and high school sites on Redhill, near Stourbridge town centre on either side of Junction Road, with the Lye building being converted to a community centre.

Jamie Clayton has been Headteacher of Redhill since 2019, replacing Chris McGrail.

The school gained specialist Language College status in 2003 [3] before converting to an academy in July 2013. [4]

Teacher Ban in 2020
