Ratcliffe College (UK) Exchange 2020

St Peter’s College has been involved in a bi-annual exchange of students from Ratcliffe College in England since 2010.  Both schools are keen to continue the exchange and St Peter’s is currently in discussions with Ratcliffe College for this to continue. At present, Ratcliffe College are sending a group of students and staff at the beginning of Term 4, 2019. It is expected that students/families that wish to be considered for the Ratcliffe Exchange 2020 accommodate these students during their time at St Peter’s College.
