Boarding Appeal 2025

Welcome to our Boarding Appeal, an exciting initiative aimed at enhancing the boarding facilities at Ratcliffe College. We invite you to join us in making Ratcliffe’s boarding experience better than ever for our students.

Ratcliffe is our HOME.

We love living here at Ratcliffe because it’s safe, friendly, we have so much space in our grounds, and some of the best and modern sporting facilities you could imagine. Our boarding community is the heart of Ratcliffe and we now want to extend that to even more students, and by updating some of the older rooms with new flooring, decorations and furnishings, we can create more homes for future generations of Ratcliffians.

Our goal is to continually improve, making Ratcliffe a truly exceptional home for our boarders.

With your support, we’re aiming to raise £50,000 by the summer of 2025. This will allow us to refurbish, refurnish, and upgrade our boarding rooms, giving our students a living space they can be proud of. Donations of all sizes will be recognised on a plaque in the Boarding house.

DONATE NOW

Any donation will go a long way in creating a home away from home for our boarders, so they can thrive here in every way possible.

SPONSOR A ROOM

If you wish to completely refurbish a room, you can do this for £10,000 and the room will be named after you or your family.
