Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community

Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community

Enrichment

Our flourishing enrichment programme provides around fifteen activities every term with nearly one hundred and fifty children attending each term. We use pupil voice to see what types of clubs are popular as we like to keep up with the trends.

Across the school we ensure that each of our young people has the opportunity to new, exciting and educationally rich experiences. Whether that is being part of the academy leadership team, having visitors from the community come in to give workshops, lessons and assemblies, joining school clubs or going on special educational visits. It is our promise to our children that they will be offered these opportunities and hopefully leave Ryelands with both fond and exciting memories of their time with us.
