Ryde School is the leading independent day and boarding school on the Isle of Wight for children aged two and a half to 18 years old.

Open Morning

It’s a great opportunity to meet teachers, pupils, tour the school and hear about their excellent GCSE results. This year pupils achieved the best results in Ryde School’s history at this top level of grade. You’ll also be able to hear about A level and IB results, which this year saw the best results when sitting public examinations since 2014.

Ryde School’s new Head Master, Will Turner (pictured above), will be on site to welcome visitors, and will be presenting talks to parents and prospective pupils.

There is also a growing number of international students and UK boarders from Scotland through to the USA and beyond.
