Headmaster, Jonathan Reddin, commented: “The cohort of 2022 will always be synonymous with the difficulties presented by the pandemic, having experienced the challenges of their GCSEs being cancelled in 2020, and further disruption to the teaching of their A Level courses since.  We are incredibly proud of the way in which they have supported one another and remained true to our Mission as a Catholic School.  We wish them every happiness and success as they move on to higher education and their future careers.  Thank you, Year 13, for being such wonderful ambassadors for Ratcliffe College.”
