Last week, our new Year 12 students enjoyed an unforgettable induction residential at Skern Adventure in North Devon.

Over three action-packed days, students took part in a range of outdoor land and water-based activities, developing their confidence, resilience, teamwork and leadership skills while building new friendships and strengthening our Sixth Form community.

The residential is an important part of the Ribston Sixth Form experience, helping students to step outside their comfort zones, embrace new challenges and create memories that will stay with them long after their time at Ribston. The skills developed throughout the trip will also support students as they prepare for future university, apprenticeship and career applications.

A huge thank you to our staff team and the team at Skern Adventure for making the experience such a success. We are so proud of how our students embraced every opportunity and challenge.

📢 Important Update for Families Considering Ribston in 2028

If your child is currently in Year 5 and you are thinking about applying to Ribston Hall High School for entry in September 2028, there have been some important changes to the Gloucestershire Grammar Schools entrance process.

The new assessment has been designed to align closely with the learning experience in primary school. Maths and English remain a key part of the assessment process, alongside a broader curriculum-based paper covering subjects studied at school.

Preparation should focus on developing strong maths skills and encouraging pupils to read widely across a range of genres and topics.

For full details about the new arrangements, the registration process and what families can expect, please visit our website or click on our bio link.

You'll also be able to find free preparation materials and information about additional support for families in receipt of free school meals.
