History

Medbury School was established in 1923 by the Chennells family after purchasing a property of 20,000 square metres and a large family home called "Ripsford". The school began with only nine boys cared for by the Chennells family. By 1925 the number of boys attending the school had grown to approximately 50. In 1955 the Chennells retired; by this time there were 111 boys at the school.[2] Development of facilities has occurred as the school has grown, with expansion occurring in 1968, 1969, 1975, 1987, 1994, and most recently in 2003.[1] The school celebrated its 75th Jubilee from 6 March 1998 to 8 March 1998.[3]

Admission

Boys are accepted into Medbury School at any level between the ages of five and thirteen at the discretion of the Headmaster. The school had the highest number of entrants in its history in 2007.[4]
