Radley College is an independent full boarding school for boys aged 13-18 in Oxfordshire. Named Best Public School 2024 by Tatler, we are proud of our position as one of the world’s leading schools, but it is our ability to unlock the potential in every boy and the sense of community here that makes us special.
Founded in 1847, Radley is proud of its tradition but is celebrated for academic excellence, innovation, and dynamism. We are fortunate to do all of this on a beautiful 800-acre campus with genuinely world-class facilities a few miles from the thriving city of Oxford.
We aim to nurture intellectual entrepreneurs; boys who can use their strong academic understanding to solve real-world problems. Exam results matter and our excellent A-Level and GCSE results evidence this. But we know that life doesn’t have a syllabus, so we work hard to equip boys with the characteristics, life skills and values that will help them thrive in the workplace and in life.
Beyond the classroom, opportunities are limitless. Our boys excel on the sports field, in the concert hall, on stage and as part of our partnerships programme. Community is the central pillar of our ethos. All our boys meet in Chapel five days a week and we eat centrally, which helps to foster a sense of connection across the College.
