Our Setting
Students at Samuel Ryder Academy benefit from excellent facilities and resources. The Academy’s younger students are primarily housed in brand new purpose-built accommodation which enables them to learn in bright, flexible surroundings designed to create the best possible learning environment.
At the same time, they are able to make use of the specialist facilities of the Academy’s secondary accommodation, such as the science labs, sports facilities, including our swimming pool, and numerous ICT suites.
