Welcome
Welcome to the Ridgeway Learning Partnership
As the Accounting Officer of the Ridgeway Learning Partnership, I am delighted to welcome you to our shared vision for education in Tring. Our Trust is built upon the collective strength of our three schools, working together to ensure that every student -from their first steps in Nursery to their final days in the Sixth Form - is part of a journey defined by belonging, achieving, and flourishing.
I am proud to head a Trust where the Executive Leadership Team works closely with the Trust Board to steer our strategic direction and ambition. Our primary goal is to provide the best educational experience for all of its members, ensuring every individual is supported by a culture of belonging, achieving, and flourishing.
Belonging
At the heart of the RLP is a profound sense of belonging. We pride ourselves on being inclusive communities where every child, staff member, and family is valued. We create inclusive environments where every student is known. This is visible in our House Systems and our commitment to the well-being of the whole community, including staff, children, and their families. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels they have a place and a purpose.
Achieving
We hold high expectations for our students’ behaviour, attitudes, and academic progress. Our commitment to achieving is reflected in our strong Key Stage results and our status as a Google Reference School. From the foundational literacy and numeracy skills developed at our primary schools to the diverse GCSE, A Level, and Vocational pathways at Tring School, we provide the tools for every learner to reach their full potential.
Flourishing
Education at the RLP goes beyond the classroom; it is about providing the opportunities for children to flourish as individuals. We bring this to life through a rich co-curricular programme, including award-nominated theatre productions, competitive sports at the Tring Sports Centre, and creative projects like Forest School and outdoor learning. We believe that by nurturing talents in the arts, sciences, and physical education, our students grow into well-rounded, confident citizens.
Rooted in Our Community
The Ridgeway Learning Partnership is deeply committed to being the "beating heart" of Tring, driven by a clear ambition to strengthen our relationship with the local community we serve. We are proud to be a family of Tring-based schools that actively engage with local partners, from supporting teacher training in Dacorum to hosting community events at the DEMBE Theatre, such as our award-nominated musical productions. A vital pillar of this connection is the Tring Sports Centre, which serves as a hub for local health and wellbeing by hosting swimming lessons, public swimming sessions, and fitness classes, while also acting as a home for local sports clubs to host their essential training sessions and competitive matches. By working closely with parents and local residents to ensure we are "growing and achieving together," we invite you to explore our schools and join us in our mission to foster an environment where every individual can truly belong, achieve, and flourish.
The Ridgeway Learning Partnership (RLP) is driven by a shared ambition to provide the best educational experience for all of its members, ensuring that every student and staff member can thrive within our school family. To achieve this, our Executive Leadership Team (ELT) works closely with the Trust Board to steer the strategic direction and ambition of the Trust, fostering an environment where our core values of belonging, achieving, and flourishing are at the heart of everything we do.
We are a Trust rooted in the Tring area, with a firm commitment to strengthening relationships with the local community we serve. By collaborating across our three schools—Dundale Primary, Grove Road Primary, and Tring School—we create a seamless educational journey that supports our students from their earliest years through to adulthood.
