Redden Court School is celebrating being named the 100th best school for sport in the whole of the UK.

The prestigious honour was revealed in the latest annual ranking of the top 200 sporting schools across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland by School Sport Magazine. The scale of the achievement covers sporting success in 2023.

Reaching the top 100 puts you in the top 3% of the country’s state or independent sporting schools while the top 200 puts you in the top 5%.

Schools usually have to reach the later stages of at least two, three or four national competitions to make the list. They cover up to 20 different sports and more than 120 different competitions. More weighting is given to success in a range of sports rather than single sports and those sports with more schools competing.

"We are absolutely delighted with the news which emphasises our school's place among the UK's sporting schools elite. It's an amazing achievement and recognises the hard work and achievements of our students, parents and teachers."
