Head Teacher’s Message

Welcome to The Radclyffe School.

It is a genuine honour for me to take up the prestigious role of Headteacher and to continue the excellent work of my predecessor, Mr. Hayer.

The Radclyffe School is an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ secondary school which provides first-class, comprehensive education in a twenty-first century learning environment.

The highly skilled, experienced and inspirational staff of the school lead our students through a five-year, personalised learning journey in the superb facilities of our flagship school. Our students not only achieve excellent examination results but also develop the broader skills, attributes and habits that will fully equip them for the next steps of their education.

We pride ourselves on the unique approach that we take regarding the development and support of our young people: this includes ‘The Radclyffe Way’ and ‘The Five Respects’ which underpin our daily practice and mission of ‘Working Together for Excellence’. We also deploy all our staff as Personal Learning Guides who meet with students as individuals or in small groups on a regular basis to ensure that all their learning needs are being fulfilled and that any issues are quickly identified and resolved. In addition, the school is a fully inclusive and ‘Rights Respecting’ organisation which welcomes all children from our local community.

I invite you to visit the school and to observe for yourself the purposeful learning environment which is clearly evident in all of our faculties and subject areas. If you are a prospective parent or carer, you are particularly welcome to attend our Open Evening on Wednesday 25^th September 2019: we will be delighted to demonstrate the broad range of opportunities your child will enjoy, both within the regular curriculum and as part of our extensive extra-curricular offer.

The staff and I look forward to working with you to help your child to achieve their own personal excellence in our outstanding school.

Yours faithfully,

Mr J Cregg B.Eng (Hons)

Headteacher
