Set in a beautiful, safe and idyllic island setting just off the South Coast of England, Ryde School with Upper Chine (known locally as Ryde School) is a thriving, prosperous school providing exceptional educational opportunities for boys and girls in a nurturing environment – helping them to grow as independent individuals with ambition and purpose. Co-Ed Senior school with a Prep and Pre-prep school.

Ryde School is a safe, supportive and beautiful place in which to work and grow with many of our parents being former pupils themselves. As the leading independent day and boarding school on the Isle of Wight we welcome not only a diverse community from across the Island; children aged 2  to 18, but many pupils who travel the short distance across the Solent to us from Portsmouth and surrounding areas. We have a wonderful mix of UK and international boarders from around 13 different nations who enjoy living in our two new award-winning Junior and Senior boarding houses in the school grounds. With a full range of skills, needs and talents all our pupils come together in our ambitious, vibrant and supportive community.

Whilst justifiably proud of our academic results, both for those who go on each year to universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, we are committed to educating the whole child.
