School Description

Pupils receive effective support at The Ryes College. They have missed large parts of their previous education. The carefully planned transition programme helps pupils settle quickly. Most now attend school regularly. Pupils value and trust staff. As a result, pupils like school. They benefit from leaders’ high expectations of what they can learn. Pupils re-engage with learning and do well. Clear routines mean that pupils are calm and safe. Pupils who have struggled to behave in the past learn to manage themselves well. If they become upset, staff support them to understand why. There is little bullying, and leaders resolve any issues well. Pupils concentrate well and are positive about their learning. Pupils quickly learn to understand the ethos of the school. The regular assemblies assist with this. The ‘Community’ gatherings teach them to listen to each other and express their own views and feelings securely in front of others. They develop respect and resilience. Pupils enjoy a wide range of opportunities. These are closely linked to the curriculum. For example, pupils visit the Suffolk coast and Roman ruins in Colchester. They learn citizenship and readiness for the world of work through activities such as helping at the local food bank.
