We appreciate you visiting our website to learn more about Ardingly. As a pupil, parent, prospective parent or in a professional capacity, you will already know something about us, if only from the outside. Of course, what matters is on the inside. The intangible characteristics of a school, such as its spirit, culture, and the shared ideas of the individuals who make up its community, are what count most. This website's design aims to capture key elements of Ardingly's personality as well as what we value most. We are an ambitious school that takes pride in the accomplishments of its students. It has never been more crucial to have solid credentials and a successful track record in a globalised society. We also ensure that our pupils enjoy a great deal of choice to enable them to succeed in the classroom and in the activities they pursue in their wider school life. A top-notch education also calls for us to engage with the world outside of the classroom. Every student must leave school with a positive involvement and understanding of their surroundings, regardless matter whether they live five minutes away or are from another continent. World Ready strives to accomplish this. And last, assurance. that elusive characteristic, which is necessary for individual fulfilment. Having the support and understanding of your community helps you feel confident. Above everything else, we aim to understand every child, to support them through the opportunities and challenges of growing up, and to help them to grow in understanding, respect and enjoyment of the people and the world around them.
