"Exceptional Education and Care"

We moved to Ripon from London and I couldn't be happier with our decision. The school's values and facilities are truly exceptional, and the teachers are passionate and knowledgeable. My child is thriving in the boarding system and loves the sense of community.

"Mixed Experience"

We have had a mixed experience at Ripon Grammar. On the one hand, the school's facilities and resources are excellent and my child has made some good friends. However, we have found the communication from the school to be inconsistent, and there have been some issues with homework and expectations.

"Excellent Academic and Sporting Achievements"

My daughter attended Ripon Grammar from Year 7 and achieved outstanding results. The school's focus on extra-curricular activities and leadership opportunities was invaluable, and she was lucky enough to win a sports scholarship. We are so grateful for the excellent education and care she received.
