We pride ourselves at Ryde on our high levels of pastoral care, family atmosphere and nurturing environment - all of which helps all our boarding families feel secure in the knowledge their child is being well looked after, possibly even more important from those in The Forces and a long way from home.
Boarding at Ryde encourages pupils to become independent, open-minded and principled thinkers. Family values are at our core and the wellbeing of our boarders is paramount. We encourage all pupils to find a good work/life balance, and be proactive members of a supportive community.
We regularly welcome boarders from forces families, and we are pleased to be able to offer a specific armed forces boarding package (please see below for further details). Please do come and visit us and meet our pupils and staff and we look forward to welcoming you to the boarding family.
