RATCLIFFE COLLEGE

Short stay Immersion ProgrammeThai students describe Ratcliffe as an ‘unforgettable experience.’

At Ratcliffe, we are proud to offer a safe and enriching environment where all students can develop their English and have a unique opportunity to be part of our nurturing Boarding school community. This Spring, we were delighted to welcome 12 Thai students to Ratcliffe for an enriched and academic Immersion Programme. The Ratcliffe experience did not disappoint, with the students fully immersing themselves into every opportunity available to them.

Throughout the four weeks with us, students took part in all aspects of school life and British culture, following academic lessons with their year group, attending several weekly excursions across the UK, taking part in Boarding social events, trying out new sports and making the most of all our co-curricular activities on offer during the school term. As well as academic and English language development, our short-stay Immersion Programme helps students’ to gain valuable life experience, and for many international students, our short-stay Immersion Programme ultimately is the first step to transitioning to fulltime study with us.

Here is what our international students had to say about their Immersion experience with us:

“We received a very warm welcome from everyone at Ratcliffe. It’s truly beyond expectation. We were so very happy and impressed with everything.”

“Thank you for the last 4 weeks at Ratcliffe College. I have improved myself in so many ways, such as my English skills, organisation, interaction with people, and much more! These 4 weeks are one of the best memories that I will not forget. It meant a lot to me. There are some activities that I have never done before and really enjoyed - I now like golf, bowling, pool, playing Chinese cards, tennis and rounders. An unforgettable 4 weeks of my life!”

“When I first arrived at Ratcliffe College, I thought the school looked like a castle. It looked historic and fabulous. I really enjoy the activities here and playing games in the Boarders lounge too. The staff and students are lovely and have encouraged me to get involved in many co-curricular activities. Thank you to all the staff and students who have interacted with us and have been very welcoming.”

Ratcliffe College welcomes international students to join us for our short-stay Immersion Programmes.
