Head Teacher’s Message

Welcome to The Radclyffe School.

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our Virtual Open Evening and to share with you a detailed insight into the school I am so proud to lead.

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 (PLGs) 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.

As we are all too aware, we are currently living through exceptional times and it is unfortunately not possible at the moment to invite you and your family to visit the school and for you to experience in person the wonderful quality of education we offer.

We hope, therefore that through the virtual experiences and online resources on our new and improved website you will be able to gain a full appreciation of our ethos, values, standards and successes – and be fully confident The Radclyffe School is the right school for your child and the next five years of their learning journey.

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)
