Prep (Years 3 - 6) Welcome to Upper Court

Where children are known, challenged and inspired to thrive

Upper Court (Years 3–6) is where children are encouraged to aim high, discover their strengths and develop the confidence, independence and learning habits that will support them for life.

At Ripley Court, we know our children exceptionally well. This understanding allows us to challenge, support and inspire every pupil as an individual, ensuring that they are stretched appropriately, encouraged to take risks and motivated to achieve their very best.

We have high aspirations for all our pupils, but we believe children achieve the most when they feel happy, confident and engaged. Our supportive and ambitious environment enables children to develop a genuine love of learning while building the resilience, curiosity and self-belief needed to embrace new challenges.

Alongside a strong academic foundation, children enjoy a broad education that develops their interests, talents and character. Through opportunities in sport, music, drama, the arts, leadership and enrichment, pupils discover what they enjoy, develop confidence and create memories that stay with them long after they leave.

By the end of Year 6, our pupils leave Ripley Court as confident, capable young people who are ready to thrive at senior school and beyond — with strong academic foundations, independence and a real belief in themselves.

“We know our children exceptionally well, and that allows us to challenge, nurture and inspire every child to discover what they are truly capable of” Harriet Western-Kaye, Director of Studies
