Ryde School with Upper Chine
Ryde School with Upper Chine (referred to as “Ryde School”) is a co-educational private boarding and day school in Ryde, on the Isle of Wight. The school, founded in 1921, is a member of the HMC (Headmasters’ and Mistresses’ Conference).
It is the Island’s only boarding school, and is an amalgamation of three Island schools: Ryde School (whose name it retains), Bembridge School, and Upper Chine. All girls school Upper Chine merged with Ryde School in 1994.
Alumni are referred to as “Old Rydeians”. As of January 2023, fees for tuition and full boarding were £32,835.
Ryde School was founded by William and Constance McIsaac as Ryde Grammar School on 25 April 1921. The school was opened by the mayor of Ryde with 46 day boys, who were put into three houses, Britons, Celts and Romans. William McIsaac is quoted as saying "boys would endeavour to be useful to God to whom they owed their existence and that they would use God's gifts for others first and themselves last."
Within a year, numbers increased to 78 and in 1923, the numbers further increased to 103 with the school divided into prep, junior and senior for ages 5 to 8, 8 to 11 and 11+ respectively.[citation needed]
In September 1972, the school's headmaster, Keith Symons, admitted the first girls into the sixth form.[citation needed]
In 1994, Upper Chine School for Girls, established in 1914, merged with the school, with the combined institution becoming known as Ryde School with Upper Chine. The new joined school gained a new logo, with the cornflower that was the symbol of Upper Chine School for Girls was incorporated into the old Ryde School badge. The Upper Chine Old Girls' Association continues to operate, as does The Old Rydeians' Association. In 1995, Ryde School took over Bembridge School and this became Bembridge Boarding Campus. In 2021 two new boarding houses were opened in the school grounds of Ryde: Millfield and Centenary House and now all boarding is on the school site in Ryde.
In 1999, a shield was dedicated to May Stacey, who worked on the domestic side of the school for 44 years with close association with the founding family and boarding, awarded annually to pupils in forms 1 to 5 for contributing most to doing good for others.[citation needed]
