About Us
From the Foundation Stage to Year 6, we provide an outstanding all-round education for boys and girls. With the well-being of each and every child at the heart of all we do, our pastoral care is excellent and our learning environment warm, caring and nurturing. We aim to ensure children grow to become independent, confident, happy and resilient learners.
At Fiveways and in the Junior School, we aim high and want our pupils to succeed. Small classes, taught by a team of dedicated and highly qualified teaching staff, enable us to know each child individually and plan appropriately. Passions and talents are supported and nurtured, and we ensure that every child is able to achieve their full potential.
At the heart of a school day is a traditional academic curriculum, enriched with an introduction to Spanish, Mandarin and Latin and a wide ranging extra-curricular programme. Opportunities for outside learning, on the water, on the beach, in the forest or rambling through the extensive grounds, all provide an inspirational environment for children to develop lifelong skills.
We actively encourage our pupils to participate in team sports – both competitively and for recreation and many of our older children play for Island clubs. We broaden young minds through a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Pupils regularly compete in drama and music competitions, public speaking, maths challenges and art and design competitions.
We follow our school motto of ‘Ut Prosim’, to be of service, through community service initiatives and charity fund-raising to help build an awareness of the outside world and its influences. High self-esteem, self- confidence and independence are fostered throughout all our activities including the ASC (the young arm of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award).
This website will only give you a small taste of the vibrancy of our school and we warmly invite you to visit to experience it for yourselves” www.rydeschool.org.uk
Our Childcare Provision
Fiveways is home to the Foundation Stage and Years 1 and 2. Our spacious building stands in its own grounds, just across the road from the main school and provides a light, bright, warm and friendly environment in which we are secure and happy.
We open our doors at 8.15 am and the day finishes at 3.30 pm for children in the Foundation Stage and 3.40 pm for children in Key Stage 1. Part-time attendance is available in Foundation Stage 1 and 2 (Nursery). The day can be extended to 4.45 pm, by children attending an array of after-school clubs.
The Junior School is home to Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 and is located opposite All Saint’s church, on the south facing corner of the main school site. The school buildings are a mixture of cleverly adapted Victorian villas with contemporary modern venues, incorporating the Junior School Hall, our Music Centre and Science Laboratory. Outside, a large playground, found adjacent to the lawned quadrangle, provides a safe and secure space for playtime games.
Children can start to arrive from 8.00 am, gathering in the library for the Early Birds session until going to their own classrooms at 8.25. The School day begins at 8.25 am with registration and Form time, led by Form Tutors and allows teachers and children to plan for the day ahead and address pastoral matters within a classroom gathering.
Formal teaching finishes at 4.00 pm and children may go home. Children may extend their day by taking advantage of the busy programme of clubs and activities on offer or stay for a supervised prep session ending at 4.50 pm.
Children wishing to stay on for Supper Club in the dining hall at 5.00 pm, can curl up with a book in the Junior School Library and enjoy a hot meal before being collected at 6.00 pm. Parents are asked to pre-book for Supper Club for Junior School children.
