About

The heart of the Ryde educational experience is shown in the Ryde School crest. The torch that symbolises knowledge, learning through experience and exploration, not just books. The three stars for body, mind and soul which represent physical, mental and spiritual learning.

The gold represents the excellence to be achieved and the chevrons the reward for doing so, and for building character. This has represented education delivered throughout the School's history and highlights how there is more to an education than excellent exam results.

We pride ourselves on a rounded and holistic experience for all pupils, as relevant in 1921 when the School was founded as it is today.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
