Ridgewood School is an Academy within Leger Education Trust. We are committed to providing a curriculum which is challenging yet accessible, and which fosters a love of learning, as well as enabling students to achieve success in exams and assessments. We want every student who leaves Ridgewood School to aspire to achieve beyond what they thought they could do when they first started with us.

Our school motto, ‘Prepare for the road ahead’, represents our belief in preparing our students for their future. We exemplify our motto not only in terms of academic achievement, but also in terms of the enrichment and experiences which make us all model citizens.

Our school values of respect, responsibility and resilience underpin what we do and contribute to our ethos in everything we undertake as a school community. We set our standards high and do not compromise, because we believe in the best for everyone. Nobody at Ridgewood settles for second best. It is important to us that our students not only achieve great results, but develop as people who are ready to meet any challenges they face in the future with confidence and self-assurance.
