School Life at Ripley Court School Life

At the heart of Ripley Court is a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of every child. Small class sizes, strong relationships and a carefully considered support network ensure every pupil feels safe, valued and ready to flourish.

Guided by our school motto Non Nobis Solem, meaning Not for ourselves alone, we encourage pupils to play an active and compassionate part in the wider community through charity, music, environmental stewardship and more.

Sport is woven into daily life at Ripley Court, with excellent facilities, specialist coaching and a rich programme of fixtures and inter-house competitions giving every child the chance to participate, compete and develop a lifelong love of being active.

With over 30 clubs available each term, from swimming, rugby and ballet to rock band, chess and Mad Science, there is something for everyone. Our before, during and after-school programme encourages every child to explore new interests and try something new.

Plan ahead with our full term dates for the current 2026/2027 academic year, including half terms, holidays and INSET days.

Fresh, healthy and prepared with care every day by Head Chef Ian and the Sodexo team, our meals bring the whole school community together and ensure every child is well nourished and ready to learn.
