"Supportive and caring environment for our kids"

We've had a fantastic experience at North Ridge High School. The teachers are knowledgeable and supportive, and the facilities are top-notch. Our daughter loves the Breakfast Club and After School Club, and the values of equality and diversity are really being put into practice. We feel so lucky to have such a great school in our community.

"A great experience, but some room for improvement"

We moved our son to North Ridge High School in Year 10, and while there were some initial challenges, the school did a great job of supporting him. The teachers were patient and understanding, and the extracurricular activities like North Ridge Radio and the Gym were a great addition to the curriculum. However, we did feel that the school could have been more proactive in communicating with us about our son's progress.

"Impressed with the school's approach to SEN"

We were a bit nervous about how our son would be supported at North Ridge High School, given his additional needs. However, we've been really impressed with the way the school has worked with us to develop a personalized learning plan. The teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the school's focus on 'making every minute count' is really inspiring.
