IF THE FIRE ALARM SOUNDS/WHAT TO DO IF YOU NOTICE A FIRE
• Stay calm and act quickly.
• Tell a member of staff immediately if you discover a fire.
• Raise the alarm using the nearest call point only if it is safe to do so.
• Do not try to put the fire out yourself.
• Leave the area/building straight away using the nearest safe exit.
• Do not use lifts.
• Walk – don’t run – and don’t push.
• Follow staff instructions at all times.
• Go directly to your assembly point and stay with your tutor group/ class.
• Do not go back inside for any reason until told it is safe.
SAFEGUARDING
Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility. Any pupil or member of staff who becomes aware of, or has strong suspicion of, physical or sexual abuse or of bullying occurring in the school, or to a pupil of the school while at home or outside the school, must report their concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).
The Deputy Head (Pastoral) (EPJ) is the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), with responsibility for all child protection issues in the school. In his absence, any concerns should be referred to a Deputy Safeguarding Lead (TRGR, AMG, SLN) or direct to the Warden.
Contact details:
Mr James (DSL) 01235 543128 (Office), 07748534631, epj.james@radley. org.uk

Columbae ‘as serpents, as doves’
The college motto is a reference to an instruction that Jesus gave to his disciples when he sent them out into the world. In Matthew 10:16, he says ‘be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves’ (KJV translation). It is a reminder to us of the purpose of a Radley education: to prepare young men to go into the world ready to make a difference and to do so in a way that reflects the Christian qualities and values upon which the college is based.
William Sewell and Robert Singleton wished to see Radleians develop these qualities during their time here in preparation for the world that awaited them. In many ways that world has changed out of all recognition since their day but, properly understood, the fundamental values of the college motto remain deeply relevant and will serve Radleians well both at the college and beyond it.
The motto encourages us to develop a character and a purpose that embraces the very best of two principles. We must be ‘wise’: prepared to make the best of ourselves and to embrace the challenges of the world around us. We must be ‘harmless’: not a passive thing but rather always actively thinking of others and seeking to do good.
It is these qualities - humility, kindness, ambition and courage - that define a Radleian throughout their life.
I understand that as a Radleian, I must:
Stand for what is right at all times
Treat all members of the community with kindness
Value and celebrate variety and difference
Take an active interest in the world around me
Appreciate and embrace the opportunities I have
Take responsibility for my own actions and performance
Give of my best in all circumstances
Always be determined to improve and willing to fail
Show courtesy, respect and common sense in all I do
Develop and demonstrate a sense of duty and service to others
