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.[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.

In Johannesburg, South Africa Reddam, Bedfordview (Main Campus and BCC Campus) were started by his father Mr Robert Crawford and Dalene Quayle, Mr Graeme Crawford's eldest sister.
