Welcome
Welcome to the Ralph Allen School website. As Headteacher I am very proud of the school and all that we achieve. I have been at the school for ten years and have been Headteacher for seven years. During this time we have become a Science College, embracing the themes of sustainability and health and extended our curriculum offer beyond the school day.
In 2006 we are proud to be only one of three schools in the South West to have improved our GCSE results by improving our Mathematics and English results. As a result a senior adviser for the South West Regional Strategy visited the school and commented:
It is with the valuable support of staff, parents, governors, the wider community, partner schools, the local authority and of course the students themselves that so much has been achieved at the school. We look to the future with confidence and high aspirations for our young people.
At Ralph Allen School we aim to provide:
- A curriculum tailored to raise the aspirations and abilities of each young person enabling them to reach their full potential.
- The highest achievable level of teaching and learning in a broad range of activities - academic, vocational, creative and sporting - enabling the development of skills, knowledge and understanding.
- An environment that prepares members of the school community to be lifelong learners and achieve social and personal well-being through questioning, discovery and learning.
- A school community which cares for the safety, health and enjoyment of all its members, celebrates success and values individual contribution.
- An ethos which encourages active participation within the school and the wider community and promotes good citizenship through respect for others and the environment.
- A tolerant society which promotes moral, social, cultural and spiritual understanding and development.
- Ms Libby Lee, Headteacher
