Ratcliffe College Mission Statement

"LEARNING AND GROWING IN THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL"

Our vision at Ratcliffe College is to educate young people in the spirit of the Gospel and the traditions of the Catholic Church, seeking to nurture the God-given talents and potential of each individual in order that each one may become a confident, responsible and useful member of society. While we operate as Catholic school, we welcome children of other denominations and faiths whose parents feel that they can share in and benefit from the ideals and environment of our school.

Aims

• To create a community which 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.
  
• To help our pupils develop their God-given gifts and talents:

  spiritual and social;
  intellectual and emotional;
  aesthetic and physical

through the provision of a broad and balanced curriculum which is responsive to and supportive of their needs and aspirations, fosters intellectual curiosity and academic achievement, and encourages them to grow to their full potential.

• To provide, as far as it is humanly possible, a staff which is aware of the aims and ideals of the school, and to give them the fullest support and encouragement to carry out their educational duties and responsibilities with pride and commitment.
