Library Appeal 2024 - Ratcliffe College

Library Appeal 2024

Update

Thanks to the generosity of supporters, we’ve hit our target of £50,000 for this appeal. There is still time to donate if you would like to sponsor a bookcase or the last remaining seating booth, contact Mrs Liston on LListon@ratcliffecollege.com.

Last date for all donations will be Sunday 28th July 2024, after that we will not be able to list donors in the Library.

 

The Emery Library, located in the heart of the College is an invaluable learning space for Ratcliffe students and a creative teaching space for many of our practitioners. With help from donors, we would like to transform this traditional Library setting into a purpose-built educational hub, benefitting from contemporary furniture, reading booths and modern-edge technology to help our students thrive and excel in their studies for years to come.

New library floor plan:

The importance of reading is paramount to every students’ education at Ratcliffe. Reading widens vocabulary and develops a student’s breadth of general and cultural knowledge, with improved comprehension and analysis skills in all subjects of the curriculum. With a new, inspiring and creative working space for our students, we can continue to support their educational journey, while embedding a natural reading culture across the College. 

Sponsorship Opportunities:

  • £1,000 – with a gift of £1,000, you or your family can sponsor a bookshelf
  • £5,000 – You or your family can sponsor the central seating snug
  • £10,000 – You or your family can sponsor one of two seating booths

Your gift would be greatly appreciated in supporting our Ratcliffe College Emery Library hub. Together, we can create a space that fosters learning, curiosity, and personal growth.

We hope that you will join us in making this vision a reality, to open in September 2024. Your generosity will help us create a space that will inspire our students for generations to come.
