Radley College, Kennington & Radley

In its own words: "Our goal is to provide opportunities for a greater number of talented and deserving boys to enjoy the benefits of a Radley education. With numbers at their highest in our history, there is healthy demand from talented boys at all levels of entry."

From the headteacher's welcome: "John Moule became Warden of Radley College in September 2014. He is responsible for the strategic direction of the College, the appointment of staff and is the figurehead for boys, staff, parents and the wider community. John rather fell into teaching."

Clubs and activities named on the school's website include football, rugby, hockey, cricket, tennis and cross-country.

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Radley College can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
