Welcome to Worksop College and Ranby House
Worksop College and Ranby House; one community set across two schools - educating children from age two to eighteen. We're proud of being a broad-ability school - with a focus firmly on progress, recognising that every child has their own set of skills and abilities, whether it be academic, sporting, musical or otherwise. We believe that education is about more than the flight towards academic success, but about human flourishing.
We want our students to be the very best version of themselves. If they are destined to attend an established University, here is where they will flourish, or if they are an outstanding sportsperson, here is where they will hone their skills. Perhaps they are a talented artist or musician, here is where they'd perfect their craft, but if these talents are yet to be revealed, here is where they'll be discovered.
We are a remarkable school, in a stunning setting, with exceptional facilities and a talented teaching staff. At Worksop College & Ranby House, what matters is the individual, their aspirations and their future.
