There will be talk from the Head Master, an opportunity to talk with Heads of Departments and pupils, as well as tours, including tours of the two new boarding houses in the school grounds. 

Boarding tours will also be available.

An Island school with a global outlook
Ryde School welcomes not only a diverse community from across the Island – from West Wight to Ventnor – but also many pupils who travel the short distance across the Solent from Portsmouth and surrounding areas (there is a daily ‘Hover Nanny’ service from Southsea).

There is also a growing number of international students and UK boarders from Scotland through to France, Russia and beyond.

Ryde School sailing sessions

A vibrant and supportive community
Ryde School pupils learn the resilience, values and skills that will sustain them wherever they find themselves in the future.

With a full range of abilities, needs and talents pupils join together in the ambitious, vibrant and supportive community.

Summer concerts at Ryde School

“We really enjoyed our visit on Open Morning, every department put on really interesting displays and activities and we enjoyed talking to the teachers and pupils.  Our six-year old also enjoyed finding all the painted stones!”

The school offers full, flexi and weekly boarding options and there is an exciting extra-curricular programme, including competitive sailing.

Weekend activities

Scholarships and Bursaries are available for entry into Years 5, 7, 9 and Sixth Form.

Why booking is essential
The Ryde School Open Morning takes place on Saturday 5th February 2022 between 10am and 12.30pm.

Whilst the plans are for an on-site whole school Open Morning, depending upon what happens with Covid restrictions, it may need to become a virtual or hybrid event. Booking is therefore essential in order that the school can update visitors nearer the time.
