About Us An Introduction to Ripley Court School

Independent Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep School in Surrey

Ripley Court is a thriving independent co-educational Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep School in Surrey for children aged 3–11, set in 19 acres of beautiful Surrey countryside. At Ripley Court, we believe happy children learn best. We combine academic ambition with exceptional pastoral care, nurturing confidence, curiosity and a genuine love of learning within a warm, supportive community where every child is known and valued. Small class sizes and outstanding pupil-to-teacher ratios ensure every child receives the attention, encouragement and challenge they need to thrive.

A Holistic Education with Excellent Academics

Where academic excellence and personal growth go hand in hand

At Ripley Court, children benefit from an academically ambitious education alongside a rich and balanced co-curricular life. We combine high-quality academic challenge with exceptional pastoral care, creative arts, sport and outdoor learning.

From music, drama and art to competitive sport, forest school and swimming, children are encouraged to explore their interests, develop resilience and discover where their talents lie. This builds both academic success and personal confidence.

Inspiring Grounds and Exceptional Facilities

Where curiosity has room to grow

Only when you visit Ripley Court that you truly appreciate what lies beyond our walls. Our 19-acre campus brings together light, spacious classrooms and beautiful playing fields with excellent specialist facilities.

These include a dedicated STEM room, pre-prep outdoor classroom, indoor swimming pool, forest school, inspiring art and science labs, a food technology room and an indoor sports hall. Our beautiful surroundings provide an environment where learning feels exciting, active and purposeful both inside and outside the classroom.

A Strong Foundation and Excellent Outcomes

Where strong foundations lead to bright futures

The journey begins in our Nursery and Pre-Prep, where children build strong foundations for future learning. As they move through the Prep School, we focus on recognising and nurturing each child’s strengths and supporting each child to achieve their personal best.

Our balanced approach to 11+ and scholarship preparation achieves consistently excellent outcomes, with pupils moving on to a wide range of leading independent senior schools. Our close partnership with Reed’s School brings valuable opportunities for our pupils and provides a natural pathway for many boys and girls, while we remain committed to preparing every child for the senior school that is right for them.

A Supportive Partnership with Reed’s School

Where opportunity extends beyond our own campus

As part of the Reed’s School Charitable Foundation, Ripley Court benefits from shared expertise, strong governance and access to outstanding specialist facilities and learning opportunities. This close partnership enriches school life, broadens pupils’ experiences and strengthens our academic provision, while allowing Ripley Court to retain its own distinctive character, warm family atmosphere and independent identity.

Conveniently Located in the Heart of Surrey

Ripley Court is ideally located just minutes from the A3, making it easily accessible from Cobham, Weybridge, Woking and Guildford, with school transport serving nearby communities.
