Our renovated Victorian Villa Millfield was opened in January 2020 and is part of the main School campus at Ryde and an elegant addition to our Boarding Houses. The bedrooms are single, twins or triples, most with en-suite facilities. The house has a real family feel and, as with any good home, the beautifully designed kitchen is at the heart of the house. The large sitting room and prep areas ensure that study, play and rest are all optimised. There is a large garden with sea views and boarders have access to the school’s facilities and playing fields.
At Ryde, we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional level of pastoral care and an emphasis on family values and well-ordered supervision. There is a varied programme to allow time for relaxation, effective study and the opportunity to try new and adventurous games, activities and trips. The boarding accommodation provides comfortable and homely bedrooms, a variety of spacious common areas and places for quiet study. This creates an environment and community where pupils thrive, enabling them to exceed their potential.
