Prep School

The Prep School is where the children truly make their mark in these crucial growth years. A generous pupil-teacher ratio and small class sizes ensure that each child's progress is recognised and encouraged in a supportive and stimulating environment. 

We are committed to providing the very best educational experience for our pupils and we support them through these vital learning years. Our pupils look forward to coming to school and demonstrate a passion for learning. 

Our weekly enrichment programme and inspiring educational visits, broadens the curriculum as we prepare our pupils to embark on their exciting journey into senior school.

We support our students' development with a balanced approach to academic learning underpinned by our ethos of providing exceptional pastoral care. In Years 5 and 6, all subjects are taught by specialist teachers who instil their passion for their subjects onto the children.

BOFA and ATOM Learning (online learning platforms) allow for pupils to practice verbal and non-verbal reasoning online assessments at school and home in preparation for their 11+

Pupils leave Ripley Court at the end of Year 6 secure in their sense of belonging, with an understanding of their own individual aptitudes.

What can never be contained in print is the school’s warm feel, the kind nature of the staff and the sparkle, energy and happiness of the children.
