We invest significantly in CPD opportunities throughout the school year with many staff having completed national NPQ courses. The core of our development work is based around triad working, developed around individual need, with a focus on learning from each other in a supportive environment. Consequently our staff retention has been very high in recent years.
Ringwood School is situated on the edge of the New Forest and just to the north of a beautiful part of the South Coast.

We are a large and vibrant secondary school of 1550 students and just over 200 staff. The school became an Academy in April 2011 and gained National Teaching School status in July 2011. As a Teaching School we take a very active part in teacher training and undertake outreach work to support other schools locally. Our last Ofsted inspection was March 2017 and we are currently an Ofsted ‘good’ school.
The historic market town of Ringwood is a lively community situated close to the New Forest National Park; the Dorset World Heritage Coastline and the beaches surrounding Bournemouth. Our students come from Ringwood (we are the only secondary school in the town), from East Dorset and from the surrounding villages of the New Forest.
