As Head teacher of Ripple Junior School, it is with huge pride that I can announce to you the fact that our pupils have achieved fantastic results in their SATs for 2008.


We've been working really hard for such a long time; it's so satisfying to tell you that not only are our pupils achieving beyond Local Authority targets but are also in line with National targets.

Everyone in the school deserves a tremendous pat on the back and hearty congratulations from me. I feel very proud of all the staff and pupils in Ripple Junior School; I'm sure that you are very proud as well. Mr Mitchell (Head teacher)


(Ripple Junior's SATs results are in red; LA's in green; National picture blue.)
