Welcome
Welcome from the Executive Headteacher
Welcome to our school website. We are a Church of England school and our school vison and values reflect our Christian distinctiveness. Our school vision is that every child is nurtured and challenged to enable ‘their light to shine’ and this is underpinned by our school values. We believe every child can reach their full potential with the right provision and that a well-developed curriculum allows all children to flourish. I work alongside Mrs Lampe Cullen to ensure that all children achieve. Working with our parents and the community we can ensure that the children at Ryton-on-Dunsmore Provost Williams receive the best possible education.
I hope you enjoy our website. Please come and visit to see us in action!

Welcome from the Head of School
Welcome to Ryton-on-Dunsmore Provost Williams CofE Academy website. We hope you enjoy looking around our site and getting to know our school. We want our children to have a love for learning and the chance to experience activities across the whole curriculum. We have high expectations of both learning and progress and ensure all children are given the opportunity to reach their full potential. All children, regardless of their ability, are able to access all areas of the curriculum and any extracurricular activities held. We want to ensure all our children believe in themselves and their abilities, aspire to be the best they can be, are eager to learn to enable them to achieve their dreams and goals and are able to ‘Let their light shine’.
