The Ratcliffian Association brings together all Old Ratcliffians of all ages from across the world together. Established in 1865 by former students, it is based on five objectives below. Upon leaving Ratcliffe College at sixth form or earlier, all pupils become lifelong members.  

Objectives:
  • To foster in Old Ratcliffians a spirit of loyalty to their Alma Mater and to encourage practical interest in her welfare, and to provide a link of union and sympathy between all generations of Old Ratcliffians.
  • To encourage the development of the Roman Catholic faith.
  • To unite Old Ratcliffians by means of social and sporting events and by continuing to assist in the production and distribution of the Ratcliffian magazine.
  • To assist in the preservation of archive material of Ratcliffe College.
  • To manage the Ratcliffian Association and Cunningham Fund; to help provide grants, bursaries and legacies for the pupils and for the good of Ratcliffe.
