‘We are extremely proud of such a superb set of outcomes for our students in the latest round of GCSE results, and particularly pleased with our performance against the new English Baccalaureate performance measure. Such a strong academic performance is a reflection of the talents and hardworking ethos of our students, and the personalised approach of our highly skilled staff in ensuring that each student gets the grades they deserve. We are also very fortunate to have a great deal of parental support which contributes considerably to the culture of success and achievement for all at Ryedale School.
