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]
