A few more things to remember!<br />

Personal Relationships<br />

The school tries hard to promote and encourage friendly and positive<br />

relationships between students because this is one of the keys to a civilised and<br />

well-ordered community. The guiding principle on personal relationships for the<br />

whole community must be respect for others at all times. This includes<br />

respecting those who have different values and opinions. It also includes<br />

behaving in a considerate manner that considers the feelings of all. For this<br />

reason, excessive displays of affection, apart from normal greetings, are not<br />

allowed. Sexual relationships between students are forbidden in any<br />

circumstances. Students who overstep the boundaries will face serious<br />

disciplinary action.<br />

Personal Property<br />

All personal property including clothing, shoes, sports kit, calculators, etc, must<br />

be clearly marked with your name and RC number. Cloth label tapes on clothes<br />

must be sew-in not iron-on. We do not advise the use of marker pens on clothing<br />

items.<br />

This is<br />

really<br />

important<br />

!<br />

Do not bring expensive items to school including mobile<br />

phones. They are not covered under <strong>Ratcliffe</strong>’s insurance<br />

and we cannot be held responsible for<br />

loss,<br />

damage or theft.<br />

Lockers<br />

A charge of £5 is made<br />

to replace lost keys.<br />

A locker is provided for all students, which have their own key. Students will be<br />

informed at the start of the year whether or not a padlock is needed. Students<br />

must take responsibility for their own locker and make sure that their<br />

possessions are properly secured. A minimum charge of £5.00 will be made to<br />

replace lost keys. Tutors will carry out locker inspections during the course of<br />

the year to ensure that they are being used appropriately.<br />

School bags, books and files should be safely stored in your son’s/daughter’s<br />

locker and only the books required for each lesson or pair of lessons should be<br />

carried with them. You are able to access your locker every day at times set out<br />

below to re-organise. You have ample opportunity to organise your academic<br />

books and files during the School day:-<br />
