Community
Community, belonging and a deep-seated sense of friendship play a major role in each pupil’s time at Worksop College and Ranby House.
Welcome to Worksop College and Ranby House
Worksop College and Ranby House are one community across two schools, offering an exceptional independent day and boarding education for pupils aged 2-18. As a broad ability school with a strong academic foundation, we focus on progress, possibility and the individual.
Every pupil arrives with their own strengths, interests and ambitions. Some are academically driven and destined for leading universities. Others excel in sport, music or the creative arts. For many, talents are still emerging. Here, pupils are encouraged, supported and challenged to discover what they are capable of - and to flourish.
Academic excellence sits at the heart of our education, alongside outstanding pastoral care and an exceptional co-curricular programme. Set within 400 acres of beautiful North Nottinghamshire countryside, our schools offers space to think, to grow and to belong, while excellent transport links connect families across five neighbouring counties.
With exceptional facilities, dedicated teachers and a values-led approach, Worksop College and Ranby House is a place where individuality is celebrated, aspirations are taken seriously and futures are shaped with care.
Come and visit us - we’re looking forward to meeting you and your family.

Modern boarding is very different today from the experience of those who boarded perhaps 30 years ago. Gone are the pokey hallways and rows of beds- replaced with light airy spaces that feature all the comforts of modern living.

William, Year 7I get to play golf on the golf course, which I’d never tried before.
