Redhill School is an 11-16 comprehensive secondary school located in Stourbridge, West Midlands (formerly Worcestershire), England.
Admissions
It has no sixth form, similar to most schools in Dudley LEA and all schools in Stourbridge. It is situated just east of the single-track Stourbridge Town Branch Line.

It was formed in September 1976, when Stourbridge Boys' Grammar School and Stourbridge Girls' High School in the town centre merged with Lye Secondary Modern School in the Lye area. These former schools were administered by Worcestershire Education Committee until 1974.
The new school was located entirely at the grammar and high school sites on Red Hill near Stourbridge town centre on either side of Junction Road, with the Lye building being converted to a community centre.
