The school was established in 1947 in London and moved to Littlewick Green in 1964 into a house that was once the home of Ivor Novello. The school is based in Maidenhead. Redroofs is a part-time school of approximately 400 and an agency open to all pupils. In 2020 the school stopped its academic provision to become a larger part-time school for the performing arts only.
