On behalf of the governing body, staff and students, I would like to welcome you to Ridgeway High School. We are an academic, vibrant, thriving and popular school that is oversubscribed each year.
We were graded Good in all areas by Ofsted in 2024. Inspectors said that we are a school where “pupils feel happy and safe” and where we “expect pupils to flourish both academically and socially” (Ofsted, 2024).
We are unwavering in our commitment to ensure that the outcomes our young people secure prepare them for life beyond school.
Our vision is of transforming lives through learning and – through our rich and ambitious curriculum – preparing our students to achieve their dreams.
We hope that you find our website holds all the information you need, whether you are a parent or a prospective employee. We believe that Ridgeway High School is a really special place to learn and to work and we are proud to share more about us below:

This website gives lots of useful information about our school and is a good place to start if you want to learn more about us. I also encourage you to arrange a visit during the school day to get a true sense of our fabulous school community.
