Welcome to The Ridings High School, an 11-18 co-educational comprehensive set in the rural surrounds of Winterbourne. The school has an excellent local and regional reputation for the quality of its educational provision and facilities.
The Ridings High School demands high standards in all that it does, reinforcing our belief in the traditional values of hard work, discipline, courtesy and dress. The school is served by a highly motivated and highly qualified staff, all dedicated to maximising the potential of all our students both inside and outside the classroom.
The Ridings High School's status, as an International School, Technology College and Community School has enabled us to develop and build upon the links with our primary schools and also those with local and national businesses. These initiatives have impacted upon our facilities to the benefit of all curriculum areas.
We are proud of our school, strong in the belief that confidence in a school comes from knowing and understanding what is happening within it.
I hope that you find our website informative.
As part of the proposed move to Academy Status, The Ridings' Federation of Academies Trust will be introducing a new uniform at both Federation Academies for all students in Years 7 to 11, from 1st September 2009. The new uniform is designed to reinforce the new start, generate pride amongst students in their new Academies, introduce new, higher standards of dress and to make a clear and recognisable statement to our local communities about the aspirations for excellence at both Academies. The new uniform will consist of the following:
Navy Blazer
(embroidered with the individual Academy badge)
Navy/Gold striped tie (with the individual Academy badge)
White shirt
Grey trousers (all students) or Grey skirt (girls)
Black socks
Black opaque tights (girls)
Black shoes
The Academy Trust recognises that a
complete change in uniform brings with it financial implications for families.
As a result, the DCSF will support the Academy Trust in providing the uniform
blazer, tie and PE kit to all students in Years 8 to 11.
The
uniform at both Academies
will be identical except for their own individual Academy badges. Following
significant research and consultation, the new Academy badges have been designed
to ensure each Academy is identified with The Ridings' Federation, their
individual community and their original school. This will ensure an overall
identity for the Federation while recognising the importance of each Academy
within their individual communities.
