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 differs from other not for profit schools in that it has shareholders who aim to make a profit from services associated with the operation of the school.

The school was launched in Sydney by education pioneer Graeme Crawford in June 2000, who had founded Crawford College, South Africa in 1992. Publicised as a "dynamic, contemporary and creative schooling environment", it was created by 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.[2]

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 Mr Crawford's family. In Cape Town,South Africa Reddam Atlantic Seaboard and Reddam Constantia were started by his sister Mrs Sheena Crawford-Kempster. In Johannesburg, South Africa Reddam, Bedfordview (Main Campus and BCC Campus) were started by his father Mr Robert Crawford and Mrs Dalene Quayle, Mr Graeme Crawford's eldest sister.
