Since The Ratcliffe College Foundation
was established in July 2011, we
have received some very generous
donations towards a wide variety of
projects that continue to improve
the opportunities and facilities that
students experience here at Ratcliffe.
As a consequence of the donations
received, we have been able to assist
with smaller projects too, such as
the Ratcliffe students’ trip to Lourdes
with the HCPT Group. We have also
been able to provide our first ever GAP
Bursary Grant to a Sixth Form leaver
who was undertaking charitable work The HCPT Pilgrimage to Lourdes
ahead of going off to university.
