Don't Submit Your Secondary School Application Until You've Seen John Kyrle
A school where every child is known, understood and supported to thrive.
Choosing a secondary school is one of the most important decisions a family will make. Parents want more than strong examination results; they want a school where their child will be happy, supported and able to flourish.
At John Kyrle High School, we believe every child should be known, understood and valued. We are proud to be building a community of joy; a school where positive relationships, high expectations and a strong sense of belonging help young people thrive both academically and personally.
The feedback we hear most often from visitors is that there is something special about the atmosphere. Families notice the warmth of the welcome, the positivity of our staff and the quality of relationships across the school. We believe that young people achieve their very best when they experience both high support and high challenge; where they are encouraged to aim high, work hard and grow in confidence.
Academic excellence remains at the heart of everything we do. Our students consistently make strong progress and our sixth form students achieve exceptional outcomes that open doors to ambitious futures. Ofsted recognised the school's welcoming culture, high expectations and the fact that pupils achieve well, noting that pupils want to meet the school's high expectations of learning.
As an 11-18 school with a thriving sixth form, John Kyrle offers a unique seven-year journey. Students benefit from continuity, strong pastoral support and a wealth of opportunities beyond the classroom; helping them develop the character, resilience and independence needed for life beyond school.
Families choose John Kyrle from across Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire, supported by established transport links into Ross-on-Wye.
As Headteacher, my vision is simple: to create a school where every child is known, understood and supported to thrive.
Importantly, our Open Evening takes place shortly before families submit their secondary school preferences. If you're considering your options for September 2027, I encourage you to visit us before making your final decision.
