About

'A nurturing community built on a vision of togetherness and love. It extends to those beyond school, resulting in partnerships that positively impact the lives of others. ' Our Teaching Federation is proud to be partnered with Initial Teachers Training Providers- Leeds Beckett, Leeds Trinity, Red Kite and York St John.

Please be aware there is a severe nut allergy in Ripley School we are a no nut school. At our federation, we recognise that Oracy is a vital skill that empowers children to express themselves confidently and effectively in all areas of life. Speaking, listening and communication; learn to - learn through - learn about. Welcome to Ripley Endowed Church of England School.

Ripley Endowed is a small school where everyone's talents are celebrated. We believe that learning should excite and develop creative minds. Within our peaceful and unique grounds, we provide a safe environment for our children to flourish.
