Redhall Primary School is a primary school located in Lower Gornal, West Midlands, England. It was built during the 1890s by Sedgley Urban District Council as an infant, junior and secondary school, as well as including the first nursery school in Sedgley (no others were opened in the area for some 60 years afterwards).

It is situated just east of Lower Gornal village centre, with the infant and junior schools at opposite sides of the road. The secondary school closed in 1964 on the opening of Ellowes Hall School almost a mile away on the Stickley Estate which had been built before the Second World War.

The infant and junior schools continued to operate as separate schools until they merged to form a primary school in September 1997, although the two schools continue to operate on separate sites at each side of the main road between Sedgley and Kingswinford.

The vast majority of 11-year-olds leaving Redhall move to Ellowes Hall School, with a small number moving to schools like Dormston and High Arcal.
