Ryde Academy, is an academy status secondary school, including sixth form, located in Ryde on the Isle of Wight, England.
The Academy competes in Rock Challenge UK each year, and has achieved many awards. In 2013 they won the Southern Premier competition and in 2015 came second in the national finals.
The Academy has signed up with the LPPA to work towards a Leading Parent Partnership Award. The LPPA is beneficial for all schools - those that have extensive good practice in parent partnership, as well as those that require more in-depth support in this area. You can find out more about them by visiting their website. The website will include updates and minutes from the Working Group meetings.
As part of the Academy's international links students from the sixth form visited Valencia. Trips have also taken place to Koln, Berlin and Krakow. A link with a school in Bangladesh has existed since 2011.
Also, earlier this year, in April, a group of students learning Italian were given the opportunity to go to the island of Sicily as an exchange program with the company Islandipity.
In June 2014 the Academy hosted a tea party for residents of a local residential care home at the sixth form centre.
A group of year 11 and year 12 students will take part in a programme of events for the National Citizen Service. This began in July with a week's residential at Marwell Zoo, followed by a second week at PGL Little Canada. The students will also be involved in volunteering for local projects based on the Island.
In 2013, the official school standards and inspection service, Ofsted, judged the school to be "inadequate". The following year, it stated that the school "requires improvement".
