Ratcliffe College

Word From The Head

From Jon Reddin, Headmaster

We are delighted that you have shown a keen interest in Ratcliffe College. As a Catholic Rosminian, co-educational, day and boarding school for students aged 3-18, we are much more than just a school; we are a family-orientated community committed to the transformation of young minds, hearts, bodies and souls, in the pursuit of all-round excellence.

At Ratcliffe College, we believe in Encouraging Big Ideas, and with an outstanding team of staff working in close partnership with parents, we nurture young people’s God-given talents, to help them achieve their full potential in the classroom and beyond.

Our main intakes are into Nursery, Years 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 and Sixth Form, but we occasionally have places in other Years. It would be wonderful to welcome you here in person, to meet our students and staff, and to share with you why we are all so passionate about this remarkable school. The most important thing for us and our parents, is to see happy and healthy children. Happy children are receptive, productive children, who will enjoy learning and growing in the fullest sense – which is exactly what we are about.

Our mission is to educate young people in the spirit of the Gospels, within a community based on love and kindness, striving for excellence, inspired by our School motto, 'Legis Plenitudo Charitas: Love is the Fulfilment of the Law.'

We look forward to welcoming you to Ratcliffe College.
