About Ryvers School

Ryvers is an over-subscribed academy school, located on the edge of Slough. We have children from Nursery to Year 6. There are three classes per year group and there are currently over 700 pupils on roll (including Nursery). Ryvers also has an Autistic Resource Base that provides places for 8 children from across Slough. The school grounds are extensive giving the children lots of opportunities to learn outside.

There is a large and friendly staff team, totalling over 100. This includes site staff, office staff, teachers, lunchtime, catering and teaching assistants. Visitors frequently comment upon the happy and vibrant atmosphere in school – come and see for yourself!
At Ryvers, we are keen to give children opportunities beyond the traditional curriculum. We have recently purchased additional laptops and tablets to use ICT to personalise learning and provide more opportunities for home learning. A wide variety of extra-curricular opportunities are on offer, many of which are provided by teachers. We currently employ specialist teachers for the delivery of PE in Key Stages 1 and 2. Children can also participate in peripatetic music lessons. We have a football and netball team who are beginning to realise their potential and show our neighbouring schools that we mean business! Plenty of other sporting opportunities and less competitive forms of exercise are also on offer. Our most recent Ofsted inspection (March 2016) judged us to be good in all aspects.
Teachers are encouraged to seek professional development, to try new ideas and share their expertise with each other. Teaching and learning is the most talked about aspect of our school and we love to innovate. If you are creative, energetic and eager to use your initiative, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. We take the development of our staff seriously and teachers at all levels are encouraged to undertake training such as the Outstanding Teacher Programme and middle/senior leadership programmes. A significant number of leaders have moved on in their careers following such support and development at Ryvers School.
