We are justifiably proud of our examination results and university destinations, but these are by no means the only measure of our success. Our latest full inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate team, praised many excellent features in our high quality provision.
In addition to the excellent academic, creative arts and sporting activities, the location of our school enables us to provide an exciting, adventurous and diverse array of extra-curricular activities that all pupils are encouraged to participate in.
A Level Results 2024Ryde School pupils can be very proud of the 2024 A Level and IB exam results. This cohort attained 63% of grades at A*- B which bettered last year’s excellent results. The IB Diploma Programme grades issued earlier in the summer also outperformed last year’s grades with an average score of 33 points, also above the global average. The IB Career-related Programme grades were particularly impressive with 65% pupils achieving a distinction or better in the BTEC part of their programme. |

"We are delighted with the results this cohort has achieved. They are a reflection of the hard work the pupils have put in over the past two years and the professionalism and dedication of their teachers. As ever, the wide range of university destinations among this year group reflects the diverse interests of our pupils and how the School nurtures each individual and their ambitions. We have pupils heading off to study traditional degree courses such as English, History, Geography, Law, Economics, Psychology, Modern Languages, Maths, Engineering and Sciences while others have gained places to study the likes of Journalism and Media, Zoology, Interior Design, and Football Coaching and Management. All of us at Ryde School wish our leavers all the best as they move on to pastures new." - Will Turner, Headmaster |
Careers
Students in the Sixth Form develop their aspirations at differing paces so we refine the process of the more advanced and encourage those who may need more help to understand that a decision will need to be made.
In the Spring Term of the Lower Sixth PD sessions are career, progression and life-skill related. Visits to career fairs and university or work-related events are also arranged and the mechanics of UCAS applications is dealt with by the Sixth Form tutor team but we advise where necessary.
Destinations of Leavers
At Ryde we pride ourselves on bringing out the best in our pupils and helping them to optimise talents and interests. Consequently our leavers’ destinations are interesting and varied.
We send pupils to Oxbridge, other Russell Group Universities, UK and International universities and colleges, art, music and drama schools and over 90% of all pupils will get their first or second choice of destination.
Pupils also choose to take a gap year or go straight into employment, often following an apprenticeship or training course.
Course choices are as diverse as destinations:
