Ratcliffe College's mission, rooted in its Rosminian heritage and Catholic faith, is to help young people achieve their greatest potential by nurturing their intellectual, spiritual, and social growth, aiming to develop honest, confident, responsible, and compassionate members of society.
The Purpose of our College:
With Christ at the centre of our learning we:
- help young people to achieve their greatest potential;
- guide their intellectual growth, nurture their God-given talents, and inspire them to live in service to others;
- aim to develop honest, confident, responsible and compassionate members of society, based on the educational values of Blessed Antonio Rosmini.
Our core Rosminian values:
- Legis Plenitudo Charitas: Love is the Fulfilment of the Law. - Our community recognises each individual as a unique part of God’s creation, nurtures in each a sense of dignity and self-worth, and fosters supportive and caring relationships.
- Rosminian Education pursues the perfection of both human nature and the human person. - Our students’ intellect and talents are formed by a broad and balanced curriculum, responsive to and supportive of students’ needs and aspirations. Our students’ moral integrity is developed through the teaching, celebration and the living of Christian faith.
- Intellectual integrity leads us to the Truth. - God is the source of all truth. Our staff are encouraged to foster intellectual curiosity, honesty and achievement in their students and within themselves.
Our Vision for the Future
Ratcliffe College is a leading, Catholic independent day and boarding school – progressive, creative, caring, and globally minded. Guided by our proud Catholic Rosminian heritage, our Strategic Development Plan outlines an ambitious and sustainable vision for the next three years, focused on unlocking the full potential of every student.
