one of challenge, fulfilling potential and both creating and taking full advantage of a wide variety of educational opportunities. We are aiming to be at the cutting edge of educational innovation without losing sight of the traditional values that need to be the bedrock of any successful educational establishment. For young people to maximise their potential and become successful students they must feel happy, safe and supported. From these foundations young people are able to become creative, confident, resourceful, resilient and motivated students, willing to question and take risks. Frequently, these attributes will allow students to achieve more than they thought they were capable of. Central to the vision of the Samuel Ryder Academy is the shared belief of the entire community that our young people have the right to a transformational educational experience that enables them, no matter their starting point, to fulfil their potential and realise their ambitions. The values of Samuel Ryder Academy are summed up in the ACE: Achievement, Care and Excellence. The ACE underpins everything that we do and provides a secure basis for all we strive to accomplish. • Achievement in academic, artistic, sporting, cultural and other forms with a focus on teaching and learning. • Care for students, staff and others within and beyond the Academy community. • Excellent standards, manners, honesty, personal integrity and uniform. You can read more about the Academy in the following pages, but this can only give you a brief overview of our school. If you are interested by what you see and would like to learn more make sure that you keep up-to-date with developments on our web pages. The world around us is changing more quickly than we can imagine and our children are on an exciting journey. It is our privilege at Samuel Ryder Academy to help them arrive at their destination as the best young men and women they can possibly be. Matt Gauthier Headteacher “The effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding.” Ofsted, 2016 4 Welcome from the Head of Sixth Form Thank you for your interest in the Sixth Form at Samuel Ryder Academy.

For several years, those two matters had consumed golf analysts around the globe, but there would be little room for debate by December 1926. A year earlier, however, there was plenty of argument, especially on the first issue. Hagen had won two British Opens and finished runner-up in three attempts; he also had won the match-play championship for his class the previous two years. Jones had won a U.S. Open and finished runner-up three times in his last four attempts; he, too, had won the match-play championship for his class in 1924 and 1925.
