Radley College

About Us

Radley College is an independent boarding school for boys in Oxford.

We work hard to create an environment where boys will be happy, grow in self-confidence, thrive academically, and make the most of the many opportunities we offer. We pride ourselves on the pursuit of excellence both inside the classroom and out, and on encouraging boys to develop their talents and discover new interests. As an unashamedly full boarding environment, Radley defines itself by its caring community where all, staff and boys alike, are passionate about what they do, and dedicated to it.

A Radley education is about independent thought and learning with enthusiasm. It is about cultural awareness and the benefits of team sport. It is about academic ambition. It is about learning to live with others. It is about preparation for the world beyond its gates. Above all, it is about the core values that will underpin success in all its forms throughout a Radleian’s life: as leaders, as citizens, as human beings.

We are fortunate to do it in a stunning rural setting inspired by the nearby city – and university – of Oxford. The original vision of William Sewell to found a school with a true appreciation of the aesthetic stands the test of time, as does his insistence on qualities of kindness, decency and manners. We want a Radleian to care for and about all around him.

What it’s like to work for us?

Radley is a wonderful place to work. Set in a beautiful 800 acre campus, we are blessed to have fantastic facilities in a peaceful, rural location. However, most of all we are proud of our collective sense of purpose and community. We are immensely proud of the way we foster a friendly atmosphere. As such, relationships between all staff and between staff and boys are very strong. We place great emphasis on spending time with each other socially, enjoying each other’s company through whole-staff events.  The operational staff at Radley College are the backbone of our success. As a team, we consistently strive to grow and maintain an inspiring and nurturing environment for not only our boys, but for all members of the Radley community.

Just six minutes from Abingdon, Didcot and Oxford, and our close proximity to motorway networks means that our staff commute from across the South East.
