History
Welcome to Rydes Hill, where every child is known, valued and nurtured to become the very best version of themselves.
Our warm and inspiring environment is grounded in a strong sense of family and ambition. From the moment children join us, they are supported and celebrated through every step of their learning journey.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, enriched with specialist lessons in PE, Music, Forest School and Art. Small class sizes and experienced teachers ensure that every child is challenged, engaged and inspired, whatever their starting point.
Beyond the classroom, children enjoy a wealth of enrichment opportunities that spark curiosity and build confidence. From performing on stage to exploring nature, they develop independence, character and a lifelong love of learning.
Our close-knit community, often described as the Rydes Hill family, is built on genuine relationships between staff, pupils and parents. Together, we create a nurturing space where every child can thrive.
As Head, it is a joy to lead such a vibrant and caring school. We warmly invite you to visit us and experience the Rydes Hill spirit for yourself.
