Moving to Secondary School
I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all the students who will be starting at Laurus Ryecroft (LR) in September; all of our staff are really looking forward to seeing and working with you.
We hope your child enjoyed attending our induction day in July and found it helpful in familiarising themselves with the school and getting a taste of what a typical day at our school is like.
We look forward to welcoming your child to Laurus Ryecroft on Wednesday 2nd September 2026. Your child should arrive at school at 8.20am and they will leave at 3.15pm. We wish you and your family a safe and relaxing summer.
– Mr R Carling, Head of School
Take a look inside our school…
Our Ofsted Outstanding teachers have high expectations of all students. Our young people, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and those supported through the Pupil Premium, make rapid and sustained progress. We believe that socially disadvantaged students should receive the same quality of education as those attending the best independent schools, and our curriculum is built around developing a strong core body of knowledge.
Within this positive learning environment, students’ attitudes to learning are exemplary. Staff and students alike are overwhelmingly positive about both behaviour and safety. At Laurus Ryecroft, we are committed to ensuring that every young person can open the door to the future of their choice.
