History

Ryleys was founded in 1877, above Alderley Edge's chemist's shop (pharmacy), before moving to its current site and changing its 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.[ citation needed ]

Until 2006, the school provided boarding facilities as well as taking in day pupils.[ citation needed ] It has a war memorial. [2]
