Moffats
A boarding service to parents worldwide...

Ratcliffe College

MOFFATS specialises in providing stability and education in a safe, healthy environment for children. There is strong all-round achievement without stress. Individual coaching is given where needed. The Common Entrance syllabus is taught as a basis for transfer to public and senior schools at 13+.

Boarding Life The quality of life, the common spirit of friendship and wide variety of shared interests and activities carry on through every evening and weekend. Boarding children need a genuine boarding school. We cater for full and weekly boarders, and provide a variety of on- and off-site activities at weekends for those staying in.

Medical Care The School undertakes responsibility for term-time medical care.

Specialist Travel Assistance We escort children to and from main airports at the beginning and end of each half of term, using our own staff.

Cultural activities The cultural side embraces Art, Speech & Drama, Music and Dance. Most of the children play at least one instrument. There are two choirs, the senior of which performs widely.

Sport and Riding Sport is coached in our 100-acre grounds. Our teams compete against other schools, and take part in local tournaments and competitions. Facilities for Riding and Stable Management taught by our professional instructor and using the school’s own ponies are unique among schools in the area.

After Moffats The School provides its own expert consultancy for parents' choice of senior schools for their 13+ leavers, including providing introductions and escorting children to interviews.

The Moffats Ethos The ethos of Moffats is one of kindness, friendship and mutual respect backed by sensible discipline. Hard work is balanced by fun, an essential ingredient for school days. Senior staff are accessible at all times. Parents anywhere in the world need feel no further away than the nearest phone.

RATCLIFFE COLLEGE is proud of having provided, for over 150 years, a quality education for students up to the age of 18.  Perhaps our long history explains why, interestingly, some people think that Ratcliffe is for boarding boys only when, in fact, the majority of students are day pupils and we are fully co-educational.

Ratcliffe College is a family school, where the individual matters, and offers a continuous education from 3-18 on a single campus, with small class sizes, well-resourced classrooms, clear focus on National Curriculum, extended school day and an extensive extra-curricular activities programme.  In recent years classes have opened for children aged from 5-11 in a rapidly expanding Junior department, with a Nursery School for 3-5 year-olds.

• Impressive teaching resources and rising academic standards
• Pastoral care a high priority
• Occasional, weekly and full boarding in high quality accommodation
• Drama, Music, Sport and many other extra-curricular activities
• School buses from Leicester, Loughborough and Nottingham

Ratcliffe College has easy, congestion-free access on the A46, 7 miles north of Leicester, with school buses from Leicester, Loughborough and Nottingham.  Whilst it is a Catholic school, Ratcliffe welcomes children from other denominations.
