Miss Ratapana has been a sports coach at Rendcomb since Sept 2017 after previously holding positions as Head coach of Women’s Lacrosse at both University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett amongst other coaching roles.

“Stable is such an inclusive place. You will very rarely see anybody doing something on their own.”

Miss Ratapana’s favourite thing about Rendcomb is the relationship the teachers have with the pupils as well as the stunning surroundings.

“Everyone gets to know each other on an individual basis. It makes helping the girls in house much more personal and the staff more approachable.”

Her favourite activity with the boarders is simply relaxing with them, watching TV, eating pizza and just having a chat.

“It’s nice to just sit and catch up with the girls. They have a lot going on and it’s nice to find out how they’re doing.”

“My aim is to be as accessible and approachable as possible. The house is very student led and for them to feel that they can talk to all the house staff is key.”

Fun Fact: Miss Ratapana has been to 5 out of 7 continents!
