2026 Destination Schools Announced

#150YearsYoung

We are pleased to share the 2026 Destination Schools for our Year 6 pupils. This year’s cohort has secured places at a strong mix of excellent schools across the region and enjoyed the process with all pupils securing their preferred school and on average securing over 2 places.

These outcomes reflect the consistent approach taken throughout a child’s time at The Ryleys School: small class sizes, specialist teaching, structured 11+ preparation, and clear guidance for families navigating the senior school process. Pupils also benefit from a broad curriculum and co‑curricular programme that helps them develop confidence, independence and great learning habits.

We are proud of every pupil and wish them continued success as they move on to the next stage of their education.

More information regarding our well regarded 11+ programme and what happens after The Ryleys can be found here.
