Year Groups

Ridgeway Academy is a learning community where everyone is encouraged to develop their potential; adults and students alike.  The quality of learning and teaching is constantly under review and we are proud of our improving exam results.  The supportive environment we provide for our students helps everyone believe in their future success.

Year organisation

In charge of the students of each year is a Director of Learning, together with a link member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), whose responsibilities include overview of attendance, work, welfare, discipline, co-ordination of tutorial activities, maintaining close links with parents and outside agencies.
