History and Vision

Ratton School transitioned into a converter academy in August 2012 and later merged with Ocklynge Junior School in December 2017 to establish the South Downs Learning Trust. The primary objective of our trust is to deliver an outstanding educational experience while preserving the individual identity of each school, fostering collaboration to enhance the learning environment for all learners.

Our aim is to develop a sustainable and exciting educational experience that places our learners at the centre of all that we do.

Location

Nestled in picturesque Eastbourne, known as The Sunshine Coast, Ratton School benefits from a beautiful setting surrounded by the South Downs and breathtaking countryside. Convenient transport links, including easy access to major roads and efficient train connections, make it easily accessible from London and other parts of the country.

Ofsted

In June 2022, Ofsted evaluated Ratton School as a "good" institution, affirming our commitment to providing a high-quality education that challenges and supports every learner, regardless of their background or abilities.

Benefits for Staff

Our school prides itself on providing an array of benefits for our staff, including comprehensive induction programmes, career development opportunities, mentoring by experienced leaders, access to various schemes like Bike 2 Work, an employee assistance programme, complimentary breakfast, and subsidised healthcare membership.

Commitment to Students and Community

Everything we do is centred on developing our young people to become confident, creative and caring students who achieve excellence in everything they do. Be it academically, or socially, our aim is to enable our students to grow and flourish and achieve all their potential. This means educating the whole child and giving them the skills to take the next steps on their journey when they leave us to attend further education or training, and then into the right career.

Safeguarding Notice

The South Downs Learning Trust and all our academies take notice of and adhere to all the national and local policies and guidance in regard to Safeguarding Children and Young People. We are committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All offers of employment are subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, references, an online search, and where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check.
