Ratcliffe Exchange

St Peter’s College has been involved in a biannual exchange of students from Ratcliffe College in England since 2010.  Both schools are keen to continue the exchange and St Peter’s is in discussions with Ratcliffe College at the moment 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.
