Can you help us?

Our vision is to develop our school through the construction of a new sixth form centre which will provide state of the art facilities for our young people and allow us to further develop our main school. We need to raise £1m – we have made a start (£50,000) but there is a long way to go! Please consider donating a small amount each month via gift aid - if just over 1000 parents donate £10 per month, with the tax back, we will have £1m in 5 years! Click here to access the gift aid form.
Help us build the future for our young people!

Join the greatest profession in the world!

Are you looking for a change of career? Are you returning to work having had a family? Would you like to train at Ripley to be a teacher?
As from September a groundbreaking PGCE course validated by the University of Cumbria is starting at Ripley focusing on three Technology subjects – Food Technology, Textiles Technology and Product Design.
If you are interested please ring Mr Douglas at school. (01524 64496) Candidates do not necessarily have to have a degree in the specific disciplines above.
We can offer you top class training in a school which has been described at an international conference as “the pinnacle of technology education in Britain”.
