Students and their needs come first; every student is truly individual and the educational setting aims to nurture those individualities and encourage students to enable them to become confident, independent and aspirational young people ready to enter into adulthood.
"Parents are unanimous in their praise for Ripplevale... They regard the school as transformative for their children in giving them a bright future". Ofsted.

Ripplevale School, Rochester
Here at Ripplevale School, Rochester, we have particular experience in supporting autistic students who may also require Speech and Language and Occupational Therapy.
Our team of qualified therapists ensures that every aspect of your child’s holistic journey is met with the right wrap-around care to encourage and maximise their potential in every way possible.
Mirroring a mainstream curriculum whilst providing a ‘homely’ feel, our specialist provision keeps our students’ anxieties to a minimum and allows them enough freedom to enjoy their educational journey right up to the age of 25, where our college provides bespoke learning in many subject areas to give students a natural pathway into employment.
