Since its first edition in 1925, The Ribbus has documented the achievements and milestones of Ribston Hall School each year. Over the decades, it has become a cherished record of our school’s history and a celebration of student life. After a brief hiatus with the rise of digital media, the magazine was revived online, reconnecting past traditions with a modern format.

While much has changed over the years—our school has moved to a new site, expanded to accommodate more pupils, and welcomed boys into the Sixth Form—our identity as Ribston Hall remains strong. Our curriculum has grown broader, and more students than ever go on to pursue higher education, yet many cherished traditions endure. Annual highlights, such as our Cathedral Service, the singing of Gaudeamus Igitur, the candlelit Boar’s Head Carol, and the friendly house rivalries, continue to bring the school community together.

This publication celebrates both our achievements and the vibrant community that makes Ribston Hall unique. It reflects our enduring values, our sense of tradition, and the pride we take in being part of the Ribston Hall family. Today, as always, we carry forward the spirit of our school.

Once Ribston, Always Ribston.

The 2024 edition of Ribbus Magazine.

For many, Ribbus may be a new name, but for generations of Ribston students, it has been a cherished record of school life since its first edition in 1925. Earlier this year, our students explored the school archive and discovered a rich collection of past magazines, inspiring the revival of Ribbus after a long hiatus. This edition celebrates the achievements, milestones, and vibrant community of Ribston Hall in 2024.
