Headteacher’s Welcome Message

Mr Cregg – Headteacher’s Welcome to The Radclyffe School

Please choose your language.

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

The Radclyffe School is a high performing secondary school which provides a first-class, comprehensive education in a twenty-first century learning environment. Our mission is to be a caring, safe and supportive learning community that positively transforms the lives of our students. Our core values are Respect, Excellence and Kindness and these values underpin our daily ethos.

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.

In our most recent Ofsted inspection (February 2024), our school was judged to be ‘Good’ overall and ‘Good’ in every category: Quality of Education, Behaviour & Attitudes, Personal Development and Leadership & Management. The inspector team reported that “The school is ambitious for all pupils. Staff are determined that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), gain the knowledge and skills that they need to thrive in their future lives.”

We remain an extremely ambitious organisation and continually seek to improve further on our existing high standards. To support us on this journey we will officially join the prestigious Cranmer Education Trust in April 2025, a move that will bring many benefits for our staff and students.

We are delighted to invite you and your family to visit our school so that you may experience in person the wonderful quality of education we offer. I also encourage you to look at the ‘Open Evening’ pages on our website which contain plenty of additional useful information.

We hope that by visiting us this evening and also accessing our online content you will be able to gain a full appreciation of our ethos, values, standards and successes – and be fully confident that 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 meeting you and working with you to help your child achieve their own personal excellence in our wonderful school.

Mr J. Cregg, B.Eng., Headteacher
