Welcome to Ridgeway School

I am proud to lead this thriving and growing learning community, that provides a high standard of education for children, young people and young adults from across Bedford Borough and the surrounding areas.We are an innovative and inclusive school, where the pupils are at the heart of everything we do. Our pupils are educated alongside their peers in classes that are arranged by pupils’ age, not separated by the nature of their impairments.Joint working is a significant strength of our school; we work with a number of agencies, including the NHS and social care, to ensure that our learners achieve the best possible outcomes.I look forward to welcoming you to our school and I hope that you can find all of the information you need on our website. If there is anything that you cannot find, or if you would like paper copies of any information, please contact the school office.Joe CreswickExecutive Headteacher
