The Ryleys School in Alderley Edge, Cheshire is a preparatory school for boys and girls aged between 1 and 11.

History

[edit]

Ryleys was founded in 1877, above Alderley Edge's chemist's shop (pharmacy), before moving to its present site and changing name in the early 1880s.[1] It was an all-boys school for 132 years until 2009, when it began accepting girls for the nursery and junior classes.[2]

Until 2006, the school provided boarding facilities as well as taking in day pupils.[1]
