Delight on A Level Results Day
We are delighted with this year’s A Level results. This cohort of Year 13 had a particularly disrupted time at GCSE due to COVID and therefore this summer was their first experience of sitting formal examinations. They have shown remarkable resilience and determination and they have worked incredibly hard. We are very proud of them and congratulate them on their very well-deserved A Level results.
We are delighted that so many of our students have secured the grades required to meet their first choice offers at university.
Jasmine Austin will be studying veterinary medicine at Churchill College, Cambridge University; James McKimmie takes up his place for medicine at Leeds University.
Many of our students have taken up places on competitive courses at Durham, Warwick, Manchester and Lancaster.
The students below from last year’s Year 13 cohort are taking up the following university places from September: Pip Alpin will study music at Cambridge University; Caleb Connolly will study medicine at Queen’s University, Belfast and Jess Cummings is taking veterinary medicine at Harper Keele University.

Additionally, I would like to thank the whole staff team at Ripley for working tirelessly to support pupils both academically and pastorally throughout their time in our Sixth Form and also our parents and carers for their ongoing involvement and support.
We wish all our students the best for their futures and we look forward to hearing how they get on in the years to come.
