“Leaders, staff, pupils and parents are proud of Ripon Grammar School — its history, its traditions and its achievements. Leaders are ambitious for pupils, both academically and for their wider personal development as young people and future citizens. Pupils rise to this challenge … Pupils benefit from the broad range of provision offered by clubs and societies, for example, in science, the arts, humanities and sport ... In the sixth form, the curriculum encourages all students to aim high, such as through the ‘plus one’ programme of additional courses to support access to ambitious post-18 destinations.”
