Our vision

We aim for all members of our Christian community to  flourish spiritually, academically and personally so that they can live life in all its fullness.

‘I have come in order that you might have life – life in all its fullness.’     

(John 10:10)

How we realise our vision

At Ripley, we realise our vision   through our Christian values of faith, hope, love and service. Our commitment to the Christian faith and these values helps create our harmonious, kind and  considerate school.

‘And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.’

(1 Corinthians 13:13)

How to enrol into Sixth Form

Sixth Form enrolment opens at 8.30am on GCSE Results Day on Thursday 22nd August.

You must complete the online enrolment form by logging into Applicaa either at home or in school following receipt of GCSE results using the school’s application portal.

Enrolment should be made by 10am on Friday 23rd August. We will consider enrolment made after this time, subject to availability of places on courses. Sixth Form staff will be available in the Sixth Form Centre on Thursday 22nd August and Friday 23rd August to support students with this process and answer any questions you may have. You are also welcome to contact us via sixthform@ripley.lancs.sch.uk or call us on 01524 64496, extension 1070. Students may be required to take a phone call or attend an in-person meeting in the Sixth Form Centre on Friday 23rd or Tuesday 27th August to complete the enrolment process if there is a need for further discussion. Once you have submitted your enrolment form online, please keep checking your emails for further information.

The enrolment form will require you to check and confirm your personal details, and confirm your courses. Additionally, if you are coming to Ripley from a different school, you will need to enter your GCSE results and upload a copy/scan/photo of your GCSE results with the enrolment form. If you have not done so already, please ensure you update your profile picture with a clear photograph of yourself (head and shoulders) on a plain background.

You can change your subject choices at this stage provided you have met the subject entry requirements available on the website and application portal and they fit the option blocks on the form. The entry requirement is five GCSE passes at Grade 5 including Grade 5 at English Language and also meeting the individual course requirements in your chosen subjects.

You choose three subjects, one from each of three option blocks leaving two columns free. Further Mathematics and Music A level are courses which can be taken as a fourth subject.

Further details about how to complete the enrolment form can be found here: Ripley-Student-Enrolment-Guide.pdf

Year 12 studies begin on Tuesday 3rd September. Lessons will start at 8.40am on that day so you should come with the Bridging Units work in all your subjects (see previous section on Bridging Units).
