About

When students are happy they naturally grow their interests and pursue their passions. At Ribston they can throw themselves into a range of opportunities to learn and try new things, including subjects that may not be available at many other schools. We believe in fostering each students individuality by providing an enriching learning experience, where all subjects are valued.

Behind the pastoral care and support we give students is the dedication of every single member of our staff team; nurturing these young people at every stage of their journey, so they feel safe and looked after in a warm community.

They re encouraged to build confidence, challenge themselves and go beyond expectations; helping them to go out into the world and excel in the 21st century. Together we share these ambitions. Together we re proud to be Ribston. Mr Alec Waters, Head Teacher

Governing body (16 current, 6 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

16 governors are linked to a profile (15 confirmed, 1 (likely)).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
