Ridgewood High School is a mixed comprehensive school situated in Wollaston, West Midlands, England.

History

The school opened in September 1990 on the merger of High Park School and Longlands School (former secondary modern schools), and exists within the buildings of High Park School, which were laid out some thirty years earlier.

The reorganisation of schools which saw the creation of Ridgewood was part of borough-wide changes in 1989 and 1990 which saw another new school (Castle High) being created by a merger of two schools as well as two small secondary schools closed down.

In the autumn of 2007, a new building was added for the teaching of Performing Arts subjects.
