At Ridley, we have a number of training pathways for students to embark upon with either the University of Durham (Common Awards) or the University of Cambridge.
Should you wish to discuss the academic and formation opportunities at Ridley in more detail, please contact Olga, our Admissions Tutor for Ordinands, and the Ridley Ordinand Admissions Office

I have a general enquiryProspective ordinands typically join us for an afternoon to get a taste of study, formation, worship, and life in community at Ridley. They look around our beautiful College, chat with our current ordinands, meet with our faculty, pray with us, join us for lunch, experience our teaching, and find out more about Ridley's vision, academic courses, pathways, placements, and practicalities. The day also includes informal interviews with our tutorial staff who will help them discern the best pathways and academic awards to support them in their vocation. We invite spouses and children to join us too.
Our Open Afternoons run on Thursdays, as this is our community day. They usually start around midday and conclude with our College Communion at 5.30–6.30 pm.
To find out more, arrange a visit, and explore the dates for Open Afternoons in the 2024–25 academic year, see below. If your ordinand cannot make our Open Afternoons, we will be delighted to arrange a bespoke visit for them.
