Ripon Cathedral School is a popular one form entry school with a nursery and is a friendly, exciting and stimulating place to learn. We want our children to become creative, independent and confident young people able to forge their own future and change the world for the better.
Cathedral School has served the city of Ripon since 1812. The city of Ripon is located in North Yorkshire on the River Ure. Ripon is a beautiful market town that was founded over 1300 years ago, and is famous as an old Cathedral City where monasteries have stood since the 7th Century. Our school stands on the site of the monastery where St Cuthbert acted as ‘Guestmaster’. We proudly continue welcoming visitors to our school in the friendly manner of St Cuthbert and annually celebrate St Cuthbert’s Day.
Today, learning takes place in a spacious and modern school building, opened in 2002 as part of a private finance initiative. The ample grounds include a wildflower meadow, woodland area, peace garden, vegetable garden and pet area.
We are very proud of our distinctiveness as a church school. Ripon Cathedral is our parish church and all major Christian festivals are celebrated there. We have strong links with the Diocese and work in partnership with the wider church school family.
We are committed to preparing our children for living in a global community. Our passion for celebrating diversity and the richness of other cultures can be seen in all aspects of the school’s work. In recognition of this we were the first primary school in the county to achieve the Stephen Lawrence Award.
The school is at an exciting time of change, recently the school become voluntary aided. The governors and leadership team are currently working hard to get to a point where academic successes match the high quality facilities and excellent opportunities on offer in the school.
