NEW SIX FORMERS’ GUIDE

I am delighted that you are coming to Radley.

Starting at a new school can be a challenge; your excitement will probably be mingled with a few understandable nerves. But you can be sure that you will be welcomed warmly: in your Social and in the College as a whole; by your peers, by other boys, by the dons and by all who work for and are associated with the College. We care about each of you individually and seek to ensure that all are happy, and all are fulfilled.

It may take you a little while to find your feet, but I hope that quickly you are able to take advantage of everything on offer. We welcome the fresh intake of ideas and skills you bring and encourage you to be ambitious in all you do. Many of our new Sixth Form play prominent roles in the school and go on to achieve much. There are several recent examples of new Sixth Formers who have been on the Senior Prefect team, top academic leaders, Heads of Social, captains of sport and key performers in the music and drama departments. I hope that you will be true to yourself and make a difference.

This booklet gives some basic information about the College which will help you in the early days. A glance through the pages will tell you just how much there is to get involved in. Embrace it with enthusiasm as you start your time with us.

I look forward to watching you thrive in the Radley community.

ADVICE FROM A PREVIOUS NEW SIXTH FORMER

This is part of a letter written by a boy from Serbia, who came to Radley, to someone coming from the same country. He describes some of the challenges of starting a new school in the Sixth Form as well as his excitement at the opportunities Radley has given him.

“I can almost feel your excitement, knowing how nervously I was anticipating the exact same moment last year. I know, it feels unreal. I can assure you though, it is even more unreal once you actually set foot on the Radley College campus.

Even though it looks fantastic in the photos on the website (which I endlessly browsed for around four months before I came here), it is even more stunning.

Radley is not a typical boarding school. From all the potential students out there, you probably won the lottery! It is very old and traditional, which gives it a unique kind of charm, which you do not get around many boarding schools.

It will be a strange start, but I would be very surprised if Radley does not turn out to be the best two years of your life. Very few people have this sort of privilege, so take full advantage of it and be ambitious. Radley offers so much: from various academic societies and extracurricular activities, to superb sports facilities.

My advice to you:

 Be open-minded and do not be afraid to think differently from an average Radleian. In other words, stay authentic and stay true to yourself. Make a change.

 Engage in extra-curricular activities as much as you can: there are so many wonderful opportunities.

 Follow your interests, however unusual or strange they are. Radley is the perfect place to develop your ideas and turn them into something. Currently, I am running two academic societies and an academic journal merely because I had the initiative to pull it off. That is all you need.

 If you are a reader, there is no better place to spend your time than the library. It is arguably the happiest place in College - it offers an immense quantity of books and a great place to do revision.

 Be friendly and kind. That is the best way to make good friends around Radley. As long as you are a nice person, you will always be able to surround yourself with people similar to you.

Good luck!”

WHO DOES WHAT?

Warden (Mr JS Moule) the Radley term for Headmaster, leads the school and has overall responsibility for the boys at Radley. He establishes the direction of the school, makes decisions on admitting boys and appoints staff.

Sub-Warden (Mr N Murphy) deputises for the Warden and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the College, all matters of boy behaviour and management of staff. He is also responsible for significant disciplinary matters and manages the balance between all areas of Radley life to ensure a true all-round education for every boy.

Bursar (Mr A Ashton) is responsible for all the non-teaching departments at Radley: Accounts, Estates, Housekeeping, Human Resources, Maintenance, Catering departments and the Sports Centre.

Director of Admissions and Communications (Mrs SL Langdale) is in charge of Admissions and Communications and is responsible for recruiting all new pupils to the school and for internal and external communications.

Development Director (Ms EHM Anderson) is responsible for the Radley Foundation which fundraises for bursaries and other projects of the College, and for the liaison with Old Radleians, parents and former parents through the Radleian Society.

Deputy Head Academic (Mr JHC Porter) is responsible for all academic matters and for the Heads of Departments. He advises on boys’ choices of GCSEs and A levels and is especially concerned to make sure boys work to the best of their abilities.

Deputy Head Systems (Mr RD Shaw) oversees technology, the timetable, the school database, inspections, Chapel and the reports system.

Deputy Head Co-Curricular (Mr H Crump) oversees all co-curricular areas: Games, Wednesday Activities, Societies, Charities, CCF, D of E, Art, Music, Drama and the Countryside Centre. He is also responsible for the College calendar.

Deputy Head Pastoral (Mr EP James) is the Designated Safeguarding Lead, runs the pastoral team and oversees prefect training. He is also responsible for the Tutors, Sub-Tutors and Pastoral Housemistresses, ensuring common practice across the Socials.

Under Master (Mr TRG Ryder) is Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead. He supports the Deputy Head Pastoral with safeguarding and child protection matters, and the Sub-Warden with boy behaviour.

Head of Sixth Form (Mr TC Lawson) oversees the work of all boys in the Sixth Form and takes the lead on academic and pastoral matters.

Chaplain (The Rev’d Dr RAH Evans) is responsible for all services in Chapel and, with the Warden, for the religious life of the school. Radley is very unusual in having daily evening Chapel for the whole school. Large numbers of boys are confirmed each year. The Chaplain’s role is to help develop Radleians’ spiritual awareness in the five years they are at the College, and engaging boys of all faiths. He also provides pastoral care for all members of the College community.

Precentor (Mr SJ Gladstone) has responsibility for all aspects of music at Radley, with Ms SEH Lockett (Head of Performance) who oversees individual music lessons and the Visiting Music Teachers (VMTs).

Director of Sport (Mr JA Gaunt) has responsibility for the sporting strategy of the College and oversees all Mastersin-Charge of individual sports.

Director of Drama (Ms VK Buse) is in charge of Drama and, with Ms Amber Burton (Head of Academic Drama), is responsible for directing school productions including the biennial College Play and Musical and annual Year Group Plays

The Proctor (Mr LM Healy) helps maintain standards of punctuality and dress in College, runs Detentions and is a presence to ensure Radleians are wellordered in Shop, between lessons and in Hall and Chapel. He is also Regimental Sergeant Major for the CCF.

The Tutor (Housemaster) at Radley is the don most closely concerned with a boy’s boarding life and development as a person. This is because the Social is a boy’s home seven days a week, where friendships are made, work done and monitored, and life lived.

Heads of Departments Each academic department is led and overseen by a Head who is responsible for academic initiatives for their subject both in and beyond the classroom.

Form Masters A new 6.1 will be allocated a Form Master who will help guide them through their two years at the College. This don will not only oversee their academic progress, but also be part of their pastoral support network. They will be the person who, alongside the Director of University Entrance (Mr TJ Deasy), oversees their UCAS application, and advises them on all things ‘Futures’. This don will tend to teach a subject studied by the boy at A-Level, but this is not essential.

SPORTS & OTHER ACTIVITIES

Our aim at Radley is to provide an environment where students of all abilities can strive for success, achieve that success and then be rewarded for their accomplishment. With that in mind, Sixth Formers should take every opportunity to throw themselves into the main games sessions each term.

Boys will have plenty of opportunity to explore sports that they may not yet have played. The main game in the Michaelmas term is rugby followed by hockey and rowing in the Lent Term, and cricket, rowing, tennis and athletics in the Summer Term.

In the Sixth Form there is a larger choice of sports available including:

 Badminton

 Basketball

 Beagling

 Cross Country

 Fives  Football

The main games sessions happen at 2.40pm - 4pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The timings for games on Fridays differ dependent on whether we are in the Winter or Summer timetable. If we are in the Winter timetable, games take place before periods 6 and 7 - this is reversed in the Summer timetable.

Boys will be selected for the squad which is representative of their ability, experience and endeavour.

We encourage boys to participate in the second sport slot on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a good chance to practise or experience the sport which you are likely to choose and play the following term. This, therefore, means that you may very easily have two sessions of sport on Tuesdays and Thursdays (at the very minimum).

THE ARTS

Music

Music is at the heart of Radley College, both on a daily basis in Chapel, and in a wide range of concerts, professional workshops, competitions, drama productions and tours.

The department is a vibrant and exciting place, with over forty visiting instrumental and singing teachers who bring experience from international performing careers and some of the UK’s top music institutions. There is a purpose-built concert hall (the Silk Hall), a theatre, an extensive suite of teaching and practice rooms along with a Music Technology facility and recording studio.

Boys can access the music department to practise at any time during the day or evening, and at weekends, and there is a large team of teachers who can help with practice and accompaniments. There are over 40 weekly ensembles, providing opportunities for boys at all levels, from the Symphony Orchestra to the Big Band, from Rock Bands

to the 120-strong Chapel Choir, as well as a flourishing array of Chamber Ensembles. Visiting professionals lead regular workshops and masterclasses, whilst the new Recital Series gives every boy in College access to high quality professional performances. Please visit the New Boys section of our website for details about singing and instrumental lessons.

Drama

The Drama Department offers a vibrant programme of co-curricular activities throughout the school year. Whether you are an actor, singer or stage technician, there are lots of events on offer. Every boy has the opportunity to perform in Radley’s Theatre and there are various workshops and competitions. The 6.1 have their own year group play, and a College Musical and Play are produced biennially, where girls from neighbouring schools are invited to perform alongside the boys. The Milligan Cup and Peter Cook Cup are another two drama highlights where students have the chance to perform before industry professionals.

Our productions are supported by stage crews who have access to state-of-the-art technical equipment. The crews consist of students who specialise in a backstage or technical role under the guidance of the Theatre’s technical manager.

Acting LAMDA classes are offered to 6.1 boys through the CEP programme. Classes are led by a visiting professional acting coach.

Art & Design

Within the wealth of co-curricular activities available at Radley, the Art Department offers a vibrant and creative learning environment with an “open door” policy where there are many different artistic opportunities for the students to explore outside the academic timetabled art and design lessons. There is a special slot during Wednesday Activity afternoons during which the boys can create art outside the curriculum and where they are encouraged to enter local and national art competitions.

The Radley School of Art is located at the very heart of the College in Clocktower Court. Within the five purpose-built and fully equipped studios, there are facilities for painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, computer graphics and digital photography.

As part of the co-curricular programme, the boys can work alongside each other to develop their artistic skills and to experiment with new ideas and concepts on art projects for their own personal pleasure. The largest painting studio also remains open to students during the evenings and over weekends.

OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION

Chapel

Chapel brings the whole community together to meet, reflect and worship during weekday and Sunday arrangements. It instils the core value of community in boys and dons alike, and is thought of fondly by all. The Chaplain supports the spiritual life of the whole community. Baptisms and Confirmation Services are conducted during the term for boys.

Food and Shop

We operate a cashless campus for food and drinks purchases at Shop and Clocktower Court Coffee Shop. To ensure you can make purchases on campus, we recommend that you arrive at Radley with a debit or prepayment card or have Apple Pay or Android Pay on your phone.

Post & Deliveries

Post will be taken to the Lodge by the PHM (or boys can do this themselves). Letters and parcels that have the Social specified on the address will be delivered to the Social. Otherwise post arrives at the Lodge and is delivered to Socials twice a day.

Cocoa

Each Social has a communal Cocoa Room where boys can relax together. Cocoa happens at the end of every day and is led by the Tutor, a Sub Tutor or PHM. It is a great opportunity for boys to meet over a snack and a drink before bedtime.

Health Centre

The Health Centre has a team of qualified nurses and one First Aid and Sports Health Coordinator, who is an Emergency Nurse Practitioner. The team provides 24hr care for the boys during term time. Two medical forms will be sent to parents before the start of the Michaelmas Term. It is essential for parents of all new boys to complete these forms as soon as possible. It is also helpful for any printout vaccination history obtained from your son’s current GP Practice, along with current specialist letters for any ongoing treatment and prescriptions, to be emailed directly to the Health Centre (health.centre@radley.org.uk.). Due to medical confidentiality and the sensitive nature of information, it is requested that all information is sent directly to the Health Centre, rather than Admissions.

DIGITAL MEDIA

Our website delivers a host of information and below are some additional features you may find particularly useful.

The Radley Calendar

A SIXTH FORM EDUCATION

We endeavour to train Sixth Formers in the ability to learn independently and encourage an excitement across the breadth of co-curricular opportunities and scholarly commitments.

We equip boys to:

 be more independent in their thinking and practice;

 take greater ownership over their academic work;

 be able to make a successful transition to university level study;

 engage fruitfully in extension work of their own choosing;

 tailor their study to particular interests, which may or may not emerge from existing A-Level study;

 investigate subjects or areas not covered specifically in Radley’s A-Level options (e.g. Engineering, Law, Environmental Science, International Relations) through elements of the Curriculum Extension Programme, helping boys to decide whether or not to study them at university.

We aim to:

 make an externally recognised extension qualification (EPQ) available for a Radleian’s UCAS application;

 provide an opportunity for certain universities to reduce grade offers based on the attainment of a specified EPQ grade;

 provide quantifiable evidence of a boy’s academic aptitude and potential, which can be used in combination with predicted A-Level grades;

 demonstrate to universities a boy’s ability to pursue independent study;

 add greater academic ‘punch’ to a personal statement;

 encourage academic curiosity and independence, for example embracing all that Oxford University has to offer to external visitors.

BEYOND RADLEY

Careers

Sixth Form students receive valuable mentoring to assist careers exploration. There are talks at College, visits to companies and an annual careers conference held in the Summer Term. Students receive the latest graduate employment trends and the majority choose to undergo interview practice.

The independent careers advisor is available for all Sixth Formers and the Careers Library stocks a number of books, magazines, and prospectuses on careers and gap year opportunities. There are also materials to help study skills, decision-making, self-awareness, CV completion and interview techniques.

University

We see university advice as a whole-school endeavour. The Director of University Entrance, working with experienced and committed colleagues, leads Common Room in offering a clear introduction to the world of Higher Education. Whilst some Sixth Formers have definite plans, most need guidance.

Our guiding principle is that each boy must decide for himself which courses and institutions are most suitable for him. Our role is to help them to arm themselves with good quality information that is discovered through personal research.

The most important thing is that each individual boy achieves a good outcome for him as an individual.

HELP

If you ever need help then there are many people who you can go to, some not in the College. You have a large choice.

For example:

 Tutor

 Sub-Tutor

 Pastoral Housemistress

 Form Master

 TCL - Head of Sixth Form

 RAHE - Chaplain

 JSM - Warden

 NM - Sub-Warden

 EPJ - Deputy Head Pastoral and Designated Safeguarding Lead
