Surrounded by trees and fields on the outskirts of Stourbridge, Ridgewood High School is perfectly situated for a great education. Our small school is powered by a big heart, an ambitious culture and excellent staff and student relationships. Ridgewood is happy, caring and calm; we provide students with a safe, family atmosphere where they are expected to work hard to become the best they can be in all aspects of their life.

At Ridgewood High School we believe that good behaviour is fundamental to the aims of our school. It is vital that we nurture good behaviour to achieve our core aims for the children who attend here. These are preparing children to be good decent people who are honest, kind and good team players who have the best qualifications and skills. Our behaviour policy is based on a ‘kind’ culture in which good relationships are nurtured and adults set a positive example. Adults nurture good relationships through the care and interest they show children. In this way we enable them to leave well prepared for the outside world and adult life.

We have high expectations of our experienced staff who are well trained and determined to provide high quality education and pastoral care for our students. Many staff are local and are consequently ambitious to see Stourbridge students succeed. They know the difference that a great education can make to the life chances of young people. We are proud to work in Ridgewood; we know we have fantastic students who are frequently praised for their kindness and friendliness when meeting new people. They are polite, helpful and want to do well. We enjoy their company. Because Ridgewood is a great place to work, our staff retention is excellent.
