Moving on to Senior Schools
Most children leave Ripley Court at thirteen, although some of the girls occasionally leave via an entrance examination at eleven.
The Common Entrance exam is in eight subjects – English, maths, science, French, History, Geography, Latin and Religious Studies, and the majority of pupils will leave by this method.
Those particularly academically-able children may be allowed to write the Scholarship exam to their senior schools – but this is a gruelling course ending in a very tough test, with A-level type questions normal.
For those talented in other areas, such as music, art and games, there are often scholarships available for these disciplines too.
Ripley Court has an enviable reputation for getting children into the demanding local schools. In recent years we have gained entrance and scholarships to the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, Guildford High, Tormead, St Catherines, Bramley, Hampton, Kings College Wimbledon, Epsom College, Cranleigh, Charterhouse, Eton, Harrow, Reeds, St George’s Weybridge, Manor House, St Teresa’s … and the list goes on.
