The Ridgeway School & Sixth Form College is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Wroughton in the English county of Wiltshire.[1]

The school was established in 1967 and was the first purpose-built comprehensive school in Wiltshire. Previously a foundation school administered by Swindon Borough Council, it was converted to academy status on 1 August 2011. However the school continues to coordinate with Swindon Borough Council for admissions. The catchment area includes Bishopstone, Hinton Parva, Wanborough, Liddington, Coate, Badbury, Chiseldon, Hodson, Bassett Down, Uffcott, Broad Hinton and Winterbourne Bassett.

The school offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.
