Ratcliffe College

We believe that boarding offers the benefits of a fully rounded education - academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually - and contributes to the development of important transferable skills such as personal responsibility, communication, teamwork, self-motivation and adaptability. All students at Ratcliffe are therefore encouraged to participate in boarding during their years at school, as full, weekly or occasional boarders.

The School Mission Statement provides the guiding vision for the education provided at Ratcliffe College. The school has a Pastoral Care Policy, which is available on request from the Deputy Head (Pastoral) and which details the provision of pastoral care given to all students. The school's Boarding Policy highlights those areas of pastoral care that relate specifically to the school's boarding community and the ways in which the school seeks to safeguard and promote the welfare, health and safety of boarding students.
