Ridgeway School is a coeducational special school for pupils with physical disabilities, located in Kempston, Bedfordshire, England. The school accepts pupils from all over the Borough of Bedford.

Opened in January 1974 in a purpose built single storey building, Ridgeway School is situated on an educational campus in Kempston, which includes a Child Development Centre and Hastingsbury Upper School and Community College.

The school is organised into two departments, which fit the traditional school transfer age from primary to secondary education. The Primary Department covers Early Years education, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 (ages 3 - 11), whilst the Secondary Department covers Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Post 16 education (ages 11 - 19). However this is at odds with the rest of Bedford Borough which operates a three-tier education system for the majority of its schools.
