About Samuel Ryder Academy
The Samuel Ryder Academy is a school at the heart of its community, providing an outstanding educational experience for all its students.
Our ethos is one of challenge, fulfilling potential and both creating and taking full advantage of a wide variety of educational opportunities. We are aiming to be at the cutting edge of educational innovation without losing sight of the traditional values that need to be the bedrock of any successful educational establishment.
As an all-through school, providing education from 4-19 on the same site, the Academy is uniquely placed to ensure the best possible progression for its students as they move through the Key Stages, and to use the best educational practice from primary and secondary phases in order to address their needs at all levels.
By sharing good practice, expertise and high-quality facilities across all ages, the Academy avoids the dips associated with transition and provides challenge for the most able, whilst ensuring extra support for those who need it. In addition, our staff have the opportunity to develop a far better understanding of our students than would normally be possible as they progress through the different stages.
Vision and Values
Central to the vision of the Samuel Ryder Academy is the shared belief of the entire community that our young people have the right to a transformational educational experience that enables them, no matter their starting point, to fulfil their potential and realise their ambitions.
The values of Samuel Ryder Academy are summed up in the ACE: Achievement, Care and Excellence. The ACE underpins everything that we do and provides a secure basis for all we strive to accomplish.
· Achievement in academic, artistic, sporting, cultural and other forms with a focus on teaching and learning.
· Care for students, staff and others beyond the Academy community.
· Excellent standards, manners, honesty, personal integrity and uniform.
Our vision for our school is to produce responsible young people of whom we can all be proud, who have achieved more than they ever believed possible and who are prepared to make a contribution to their local, national and global communities.
Our priorities
High standards in achievement can only come about through a relentless focus on excellent standards of teaching and learning and this is the main focus for the Academy. We continue to concentrate on developing and recruiting the highest quality staff in all areas of the organisation to ensure that students of all ages are stretched, challenged and supported in the classroom, by personalised and innovative teaching approaches. Through the Academy’s partnership with Sir John Lawes, there are opportunities for staff and leaders at both schools to work together and wider opportunities for individuals to take on responsibility across both schools.
