On Thursday 1st December Ryde School’s Sixth Form will be holding an Open House event (register to attend).
It’s a great opportunity for those considering their September 2017 Sixth Form options.
You don’t need to have studied at Ryde School to order to apply and it’s worth noting that the School offers both Island scholarships and bursaries (find out more).

Ryde School was the first independent school in the UK to offer the International Baccalaureate Careers Programme (IBCP) for the Sixth Form, alongside the existing IB Diploma and A Level Plus enrichment programmes.

Preparing for University or the world of work
Sixth Formers can choose a course that suits their talents and ambitions whilst preparing for University or the world of work.
Pupils on the IBCP study three academic subjects and follow a professional course in Marine Engineering, Finance or Outdoor Sports & Learning and can gain qualifications such as their Yacht Master alongside their course.
Onward journeys
Post school, pupils study at Oxbridge, Russell Group Universities and art colleges and music and drama schools here, in Europe and America.
The wide breadth of courses chosen is testament to the way the school helps pupils achieve their individual talents and ambitions.

The event takes place between 7pm and 9pm on Thursday 1st December. Make sure you don’t miss the Options Presentation by the Headmaster at 7.15pm.
