Ralph Allen believes it develops the whole person which has a positive effort on their examination results and also develops their character. Our academic results are excellent, always performing above the national average. Prospective parents often ask about our co-curricular offer to students. We are very committed to offering additional opportunities beyond the classroom. A huge range of sports, clubs, and other activities are on offer. The greatest asset is our students, who are a very impressive group of young people. We believe it is essential to hear the students’ voice, and this plays a key part in decision making. If you are visiting the school, please take the chance to test out some of the things we are saying about ourselves.

Resit classes in English and Maths GCSE will be studied at the same time as other A Levels, for those students who do not achieve a level 4 at GCSE in either subject.The students also take part in a weekly foundation PSHE programme in addition to Sixth Form assembly which covers a wide range of topics including values and morality.
