Governors

Here at The Ripley Academy, our Governing Body is made up of a group of enthusiastic and active volunteers with a wide breadth of experience and expertise. If you wish to contact a governor, this should be done in the first instance by telephoning the school on 01332 880260 and asking to speak to the Clerk to Governors, Mrs Julie Parkman who will deal with your request accordingly.
