EDUCATION What sets Ryde School apart... t: 01983 562229 E very day at Ryde School is a thought-provoking and inspiring day. Each pupil, from a three-year-old in the nursery to an 18-year-old sixth former, engages in activities and studies across a very broad spectrum of the educational curriculum, helping to optimise their individual talents and potential. Ryde School’s academic excellence is clear - proven by their strong A Level, IB and GCSE results with six 2014 pupils being accepted at Oxbridge and nearly 90 per cent of upper sixth leavers going on to university. But it is the breadth of education offered around that solid academic core that really sets Ryde School apart. Sailing, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, the Combined Cadet Force, e: [email protected] Mandarin, Latin, Drama and Music to name a few, allow children to grow into educated and interested adults, confident in their own abilities and talents. Ryde School believes financial considerations should not be a barrier to developing those talents and therefore offer a number of scholarships and assisted places throughout the school to provide fee assistance of up to 100 per cent for children who would not otherwise be able to attend. The closing date for 2015 entry scholarship and assisted place applications is November 4, 2014.
