Radley College is an independent boarding school of 765 boys situated five miles south of Oxford. Founded in 1847, the vision was to offer a different education from that offered by most Victorian public schools. A strong emphasis was to be put on the aesthetic and the beauty of the estate and the buildings contribute significantly to the atmosphere. Selective, but not ruthlessly so, the College is proud of its academic achievements both in and beyond the classroom. We care about results in all areas of College life – we believe very much in the pursuit of excellence and have high expectations of ourselves and the boys – but care even more about the development of the character of each Radleian: culturally, emotionally and spiritually.
