John Kyrle is a popular High School with an 8-form entry and caters for 1400 students, including 300 in the sixth form. Students are drawn from the town of Ross and the surrounding rural area. The school was formed in 1979 from the amalgamation of the existing Grammar and County Secondary Schools. The school is located on the Ledbury Road about half a mile from the Market House and adjoining the duel carriageway.
The school is organised on a year basis with form tutors and a head of year responsible for the pastoral care and monitoring of students. Form tutors stay with their tutor groups from Years 7 to 11. Years 7/8 are overseen by lower-school heads of year but from Year 9 a new head of year moves through the upper school with his or her year group. A head of sixth form oversees Years 12 and 13.
The sixth form is accommodated in a purpose-built block which contains a common room, kitchen, study rooms and superb ICT facilities. Admission to sixth form courses is open but preference is given to those students who achieve two grade 5s in subjects including English and maths. Those who achieve grade 4s may still be admitted but this will be in consultation with staff. Sixth form courses include a wide range of AS and A2 levels. The school is consistently in the top quintile for progress at KS4, and with 60% A*-B grades at A2, in the top 10% of schools nationally for A level.
