Academic life
Sixth Form Boarding School
The educational course at this Sixth Form boarding school is designed to teach boys the value of hard work and an intelligent management of time. We aim for breadth in a boy’s academic programme, we try to ensure intellectual stimulus both inside and outside the curriculum, and we seek to achieve an easy command of, and familiarity with, Information Technology. We also endeavour to train Sixth Formers in the ability to research and synthesise for themselves, to learn independently. Beyond that we hope to awaken in Radleians an appreciation of literature and the arts so that they can gain real pleasure from pursuing these interests in their adult lives. When a Radleian leaves the Sixth Form Boarding School, it is expected that he will have those attributes necessary both to command a worthwhile place in Higher Education and – beyond that – to compete effectively in the market place for jobs in the 21st century.
Sport and culture
In the Michaelmas Term, rugby is our main sport and it is not uncommon for us to field more than 20 teams on a Saturday. Hockey, rowing and football are to the fore in the Lent Term, and cricket, rowing, lawn tennis and athletics are most popular in the Summer. Alongside these sports, many boys opt to play a selection of our minor sports; badminton, basketball, fencing, fives, lacrosse, rackets, real tennis, rugby sevens, squash, swimming or water polo, all of which are led by expert coaches. We are fortunate to have genuinely world-class sporting facilities. In addition to acres of beautifully-kept pitches for rugby, football and cricket, our boys benefit from a strength and conditioning centre, sports hall, rowing tank, tennis courts, ergo room, swimming pool, courts for real tennis, squash, fives, rackets and badminton, and a nine-hole golf course.
