About the school

Welcome to The Ryleys School, a co-educational preparatory school for children from 12 months to 11 years, set in the heart of Cheshire.

At The Ryleys School, we provide a perfectly balanced education for children of the 21st century by combining high academic standards along with an outstanding personal development and extra-curricular programme. We offer a progressive education while maintaining the traditions and core values of a preparatory school within our exceptional site and facilities.

Through our programmes of study, and personal and outdoor education, we aim to engender a 'can do' attitude. We equip our pupils with key life-skills such as problem solving, risk-taking, resilience, and social and emotional awareness, all of which fosters a positive mental attitude and equips them for life. At The Ryleys School, we really do provide an all-rounded education.

The Ryleys School is a friendly and nurturing environment where each child feels valued and important. We believe in identifying each child's talents, whether that be academic, musical, theatrical, artistic, or sporting, and enable them to flourish in that particular area. Our detailed reporting and tracking procedures enable us to monitor progress and support children wherever needed, whether that be children who need challenging and stretching or those who need extra assistance. Children receive specialist teaching from Nursery which means we are able to achieve the highest possible levels for our pupils who benefit from our stimulating and engaging curriculum.

Please take the time to explore our website but the best way to appreciate what The Ryleys School has to offer is to come and visit us, so please ring us to make an appointment and experience The Ryleys School atmosphere.
