Redmile is a small village primary school set in an idyllic rural location in the heart of the stunning Vale of Belvoir. The school is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is overlooked by the historic Belvoir Castle. Redmile caters for 84 pupils between the ages of 4 and 11. The original school opened in 1871 with extensions to the school being added in 1999 and 2001 to allow the school to take in more children.  The school has continued to improve over the last 3 years, which has been reflected in the Good grade awarded to the school by Ofsted.
