Ribston Hall High School is an academically selective, state-funded grammar school for girls aged 11 to 16, with a thriving co-educational Sixth Form welcoming over 200 young men and women.

We welcome applications from Gloucestershire and beyond. As a selective school, entry to Year 7 is determined by performance in the Gloucestershire Grammar Schools' Entrance Test. In-year admissions may also be considered where places are available and applicants meet the school's academic entry standards.

Our Sixth Form offers an extensive range of academic opportunities, with admission based on GCSE results and subject-specific entry requirements, which are detailed on our Sixth Form pages.

About our school

At Ribston Hall High School, we’re a community. A community of creative thinkers, top performers and future leaders. Of happy, ambitious people.

When students are happy, they naturally grow their interests and pursue their passions. At Ribston, our students can throw themselves into a range of opportunities to learn and try new things, including subjects that may not be available at many other schools.

We believe in fostering each student's individuality by providing an enriching learning experience, where all subjects are valued.
