About the School

Why The Ryleys

Choosing the best school for your child is an integral investment in their future success, and is one of the most important decisions a parent faces.  We believe that The Ryleys offers an outstanding education, one that combines excellent academic standards with opportunities to discover talents and interests outside of the classroom.

Our teaching body consists of both class teachers and, increasingly, from the age of 7 upwards, specialist subject teaching staff, a combination designed to create an in-depth learning environment and affording our pupils the expert resource necessary to excel.

Specialist teachers at this level is a distinct advantage and, at The Ryleys, we further build upon this privilege by ensuring that our class sizes are of, on average, 16 pupils with a maximum of 19. This creates a learning environment that is flexible and responsive to your child's individual needs.

Our pupils have excelled in both the 11+ examinations to the independent grammar schools and 13+ examinations to both day and boarding schools. Every child is fully prepared for whichever they might choose. Providing your child with the best possible start is imperative and it is our belief that The Ryleys can support your child for future success and happiness. Our pupils are well prepared to enter the county's best independent schools at 11+ or 13+.

It is not just inside of the classroom that your child will be nurtured and encouraged to develop new skills. The Ryleys also offers an extensive range of extra-curricular activities. The availability of such a range of options to your child means that they have every opportunity to express, explore and develop their character.

The Ryleys is a very well resourced school and is able to provide an extensive range of purpose-built facilities. The presence of these facilities is to ensure that your son or daughter has the opportunity to explore their talents and develop new skills in the best possible environment.

We believe in a perfectly rounded education that will allow your son or daughter to fulfil their potential and flourish in every aspect of school life. Our Head of Pastoral Care works to ensure that each child is supported and has their needs met so that they may excel both socially and academically.
