Extra Subject and Co-curricular at Redlands

Redlands has an exciting array of Extra Subject and Cocurricular activities on offer. Trying new activities may lead to uncovering a new hidden interest and helps develop the skills of risk-taking and spontaneity. New activities can also foster new relationships within Yr 8  and across year groups. More information on additional activities available at Redlands can be found HERE.
