The Ripley Academy has high expectations of its staff in terms of the quality of teaching, guidance and support and of our students in terms of their behaviour, attitude and the pride that they take in their learning. As a school we are highly aspirational with a core set of traditional academic values, a firm but fair behaviour code and high standards in terms of pupil effort, punctuality and uniform. Our commitment to parents is that, whatever the ability of your child, we aim to fully realise your child's true potential and ensure they are successful in moving on to the next stage of their lives be it in finding employment, securing apprenticeships or going on to study at University.
