Welcome to RGS

Welcome to Ripon Grammar School, The Sunday Times's ‘Top state school in the North’, in beautiful North Yorkshire. As a state school, our exceptional education comes free, with rich drama, music and sporting opportunities at no additional cost - and no hidden extras. Our great value, high calibre boarding for boys and girls aged 11-18 years costs just £5,032 per term (with no VAT) - around one third the cost of private school fees - making us a smart, affordable and increasingly attractive alternative to independent education with no compromise on quality

Rooted in a distinguished heritage dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, RGS combines a long-standing tradition of excellence with a confident, modern outlook and a clear and stable vision for the future. See our headmaster's welcome video here
