🌟✨ Ridgewood Rewind: Achieving Excellence Together Rewards Events ✨🌟

As we look back on another fantastic year, one of our favourite traditions has been celebrating students who consistently live our school values through our Achieving Excellence Together rewards events.

Every half term, students nominated by their Form Tutors for their positive attitude, effort and commitment have enjoyed a well-deserved celebration. Throughout the year, they've taken part in quizzes, enjoyed doughnuts and pastries, made pancakes, created delicious ice cream sundaes and warmed up with hot chocolate – all while spending time celebrating their achievements with friends.

These events are our way of saying thank you to the students who consistently get it right every day and make such a positive contribution to school life.

👏 Congratulations to everyone who was recognised this year – we can't wait to celebrate even more successes next year!

❤️ Our Thoughts Are With Our Local Community

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the fires in the Stourbridge area today, including those who have been evacuated or are facing uncertainty and disruption.

At Ridgewood, we know how important it is for our community to come together and support one another during difficult times. We are thinking of all the families, residents and businesses affected, as well as the emergency services and everyone working to keep people safe.

We also recognise that incidents like this can be upsetting and unsettling for children and young people. If any of our Ridgewood families have been affected and need help or support, please contact our safeguarding team at [email protected].

Please know that the Ridgewood community is here for you.

Take care, stay safe and look out for one another. ❤️

🎓🌟 Best of Luck to Year 13! 🌟🎓

We would like to send our very best wishes to all Year 13 students collecting their results on Thursday morning.

A very special good luck goes to our wonderful Ridgewood Class of 2024, who left us two years ago and will be receiving their A Level, BTEC and other Level 3 results this week. ❤️

We hope all your hard work, determination and commitment has paid off and that you receive the results you have been hoping for.

Whatever your next step may be – university, an apprenticeship, employment or another exciting opportunity – we hope you look back with pride on everything you have achieved and look forward with confidence to what comes next.

We are incredibly proud to have been part of your journey and will always be delighted to hear about your successes.

🍀 Good luck, Class of 2024 – we’re all rooting for you! 🍀
