Ryde School is the leading independent day and boarding school on the Isle of Wight for children aged two to 18-years-old.
It’s an Island school with a global vision and the the importance of community sits at the heart of the school with pupils expected to be true to the school values of ambition, responsibility, courage and respect. Pupils work hard and are challenged to make the most of their talents and the opportunities in front of them.
Open Morning

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 (a Hover Nanny service can be arranged if required).
There is also a growing number of international students and UK boarders from Scotland through to the USA and beyond.
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 wide range of abilities, needs and talents pupils join together in the ambitious, vibrant and supportive community.
“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 available in two new boarding houses within the school grounds, as well as an exciting extra-curricular programme, including competitive sailing.
