The Ryleys School in Alderley Edge, Cheshire is a preparatory school for boys and girls aged between 1 and 11.
History
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.
Until 2006, the school provided boarding facilities as well as taking in day pupils.[1]
