The goal of all staff at The Ripley Academy is to provide the best possible education for all of our students. Our highly skilled teachers are committed to delivering engaging lessons that cater for students of all abilities in a caring, calm and purposeful environment.

The Ripley Academy has high expectations both of its staff in terms of the quality of teaching, guidance and support and of our students in terms of the pride they take in their behaviour, attitude and work. 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 their 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.
