Ripley Court was founded in 1893 as a boarding school for boys. It is, at present, a Co-Educational Day School. A recently opened Nursery accepts children at the age of 3 years; children enter the pre-prep school at 4 years and the prep school at seven. Girls take the 11+, 12+ or 13+ Common Entrance Exam to their Senior schools and boys take either Common Entrance Examination or Scholarship at 13+. All children play a full range of Games and all participate in Music, Art, Drama and DT. The school has recently built a new teaching block comprising four Junior School Classrooms and a laboratory. There is a covered swimming pool and a large gymnasium in addition to 20 acres of playing fields and recreation ground.
