Pupil attainment is 'rapidly rising' under 'inspirational leadership of the Principal', as Ryde Academy received a 'Good' rating from Ofsted. Well done to all, a great early Christmas present.
The Dept for Education certainly isn't very happy with AET at the moment. Their letters to them are becoming ever more stern, telling them to raise standards. Happily, Island their IW schools are on the way up.
The Rt Honourable Dame Janet Paraskeva was the guest speaker and presented Ryde Academy students with awards at their presentation evening earlier this month.
The council leader says "Ofsted outcomes are demonstrating that education has turned the corner on the Island" and praises Ryde Academy on their recent inspection.
Great news for Joy Ballard, the new Principal at Ryde Academy after she was named Head of the Year at the Pearson Teaching Awards at the weekend. Well done Joy!
The incoming Head of Ryde Academy is saying things many parents and children on the Island will want to hear. Here's a trailer of the TV programme she's on this evening.
