Ryde Academy Dance Teacher, Hilary Seaton, had the honour of being invited to a lunch in Cardiff to celebrate Rubicon Dance’s 40th birthday where she was told that dancers at the Academy are some of the best in the country.
Ryde Academy student, Georgia Holmes, and school first aider, Michael Hine, both represented the Isle of Wight St John Ambulance Service at the Hampshire Civic Event at Winchester Cathedral on Sunday.
Ryde Academy Students have been spending time at Bodster CIC and through interaction with horses have been learning some important social and life skills.
Producer Thom Goodey said it was incredible and inspiring to see how all students gained a newfound confidence to perform to such a high standard in a short amount of time.
The trip was an exciting opportunity to see history come alive and to visit some of the historical sites the students have learnt about as part of their respective GCSE and A-Level studies.
The school was chosen under the first phase of the Department for Education’s PSBP to benefit from a multi million pound new school building on the existing site, with a student capacity of 1,500.
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!
