Ratcliffe College

A co-educational day and boarding school, teaching children aged 3 to 18 with strong Catholic values and ethos. Founded in 1847 by the Rosminian Fathers, Ratcliffe is steeped in history and tradition. Surrounded by 200 acres of beautiful grounds situated in Leicestershire. Ratcliffe is inclusive of all with a real sense of community, offering exceptional teaching and outstanding pastoral care with small class sizes.

Boarding at Ratcliffe allows students to take advantage of an extended day, ensuring your child can enjoy the extraordinary breadth of co-curricular activities we have on offer too. Here at Ratcliffe College we focus on the whole child and encourage our children to “think big” both inside and outside of the classroom.
