Headteachers' Welcome
Welcome to Samuel Ryder Academy, where I am proud to lead as Head of School. Our Academy is an ambitious community with high expectations for both staff and students. We believe that, through hard work and collaboration, everyone can reach their full potential and achieve remarkable goals.
As an all-through school, Samuel Ryder Academy provides a uniquely seamless progression for students aged 4 to 19, blending the best practices of primary and secondary education. No matter what age a child joins us, they receive the care and support needed to meet the high standards we set for all members of our community. Our pastoral and academic systems work closely together to offer a personalised education, tailored to each student's talents and needs.
Our curriculum fosters curiosity and creativity, with a strong focus on core subjects like mathematics, English, science, humanities, and languages, while celebrating the arts. At the heart of all we do is teaching and learning, and the outstanding progress our students make reflects the dedication of both staff and students alike.
