Ryhall CE Academy is a friendly, welcoming school with a strong Christian ethos, where we aim to “Live life in all its fullness, Make Memories and Build Futures.” We are proud of our inclusive culture and our commitment to ensuring every child flourishes both academically and personally. We are committed to developing the whole child - emotionally, intellectually, physically, academically, and spiritually. We have a family-feel school, with talented staff, and an emphasis on developing each child’s skills, talents, and confidence. Our highly professional staff team works hard to create lifelong experiences and memories, so that when children leave us, they are well-prepared for secondary school and carry fond memories of their primary years.

We are a small enough to know our pupils really well, yet big enough to be able to participate in some of the large events that really help to build our pupil’s character. We are tucked away in the beautiful village of Ryhall, and we have the most wonderful facilities to support our curriculum. In our extensive outdoor area, we have a beautiful wildlife garden that hosts our bird watching observatory, mini beast hotels, and reflection space, a trim-trail, games pitch, outdoor stage and vegetable gardens.
