Welcome to Riddlesdown Collegiate – a school with ambition, improvement and people at its heart. We are a very large, successful and popular school with a rich and respected history. At Riddlesdown we are proud of our diverse and inclusive school, and we strive for and achieve high academic standards whilst delivering exceptional pastoral care. Students at Riddlesdown are exceptional young people and we know them as individuals thanks to the "small schools" model enabling them to grow as thinking young people and active citizens who are ready to take positions of responsibility in a happy and successful future. As the Principal of Riddlesdown Collegiate, I am proud to lead a community that values excellence, creativity, and inclusivity. Riddlesdown Collegiate is a place where all students are encouraged to develop their talents, challenge themselves academically, and grow as individuals. Our dedicated staff are passionate about fostering a love of learning through delivering inspiring lessons and an extensive range of co-curricular opportunities. We are firmly committed to delivering our Trust's vision of an 'Exceptional Education for All'. We believe an exceptional education requires a strong partnership between the school, parents, and the wider community. Together, we create a supportive and stimulating environment where students feel safe, respected, and inspired to learn. Our VALUES inform The Riddlesdown Commitment, a set of behaviours and expectations which support students to achieve exceptional growth and success.
