Ethos and Values

Ripley Church of England Primary School provides an excellent education with the emphasis on the development of each child through creatitivity, imagination and perserverance.

Our values are based on the Christian faith and as such we encourage children to have respect for themselves and to show respect and consideration for others.

We recognise the need for children to enjoy their lessons, be intellectually stimulated by them and appreciate the importance of doing well.

At Ripley Church of England Primary School both boys and girls learn and play happily together.

We encourage the active participation of parents in the child's education. By sharing an interest in the stage of each child's development very real gains can be made in the child's overall progress. Our aim is to deliver children to the next level of education in a confident mood and well able to cope with the rigours of a junior school.
