Learning Communities
A Big School Made Small!
Ratton School is divided into five Learning Communities: Adelphi, Apollo, Globe, Lyceum and Lyric. There are 10 tutor groups within each Community: two year 7, six mixed tutor groups with students from years 8, 9 and 10 and two year 11 tutor groups. Each Community has its own colour and its own Leadership team, comprising of the Learning Director, Learning Leader, a Care and Guidance Manager and a Welfare Assistant. This team leads weekly Community Assemblies and oversees the staff and students within their Community. Through the Learning Communities, we can offer students a greater sense of belonging within a large school. By working together as smaller Communities we encourage healthy inter-community competition, of both a sporting and academic nature; create more opportunities to celebrate success and be proud of the achievements of students within each Community; tackle bullying issues more effectively and encourage students of different ages to mix and support one another. We believe this supports our whole school ethos and our 'Achieving Together' motto. Each Community has chosen its own charity to support, and fundraising events, led by the students in each Community, take place throughout the school year.
