Dear Parents/Carers and Students

Welcome to The Ridings’ Federation Winterbourne International Academy, an 11-18 co-educational Academy set in the rural surrounds of Winterbourne.

The Academy (formerly known as The Ridings High School) has an excellent local and regional reputation for the quality of its educational provision and facilities. Although we have grown in size in recent years, we ensure that all our students receive the very best professional support and guidance. A primary aim of our staff is to know each child as an individual, in order to ensure student fulfilment and happiness.

Winterbourne International Academy demands high standards in all that it does, reinforcing our belief in the traditional values of hard work, discipline, courtesy and dress.

The Academy is served by very motivated and highly qualified staff, all dedicated to ensuring every student achieves success through motivation, knowledge and skills. The most vital ingredient in the success of our Academy is the quality of human relationships. We take great pride in the flourishing partnership between home and Academy in which all concerned work together in the best interests of the students.

Winterbourne International Academy’s status, as an International School and International Baccalaureate Designated ‘School’ has enabled us to develop our community ethos with strong links with our partner primary schools and a range of local and national businesses.

We are proud of our International Academy, strong in the belief that confidence in an Academy comes from knowing and understanding what is happening within it. I hope you will extend your knowledge through contact and discussion with the staff. It is important that mutual trust should be the basis of our shared responsibility.

I have no doubt that you will be impressed when you visit us and assure you of a very warm welcome.
