Head to one of the UK’s best schools!

What if you could go to one of the UK’s top boarding schools – and get a bursary that pays for everything?

If you love learning, sports, music, drama or robotics, Radley College in Oxfordshire could be the place for you.…

Often named as one of the best private schools in the country, a special scheme is helping promising boys to attend, regardless of their background!

What is Radley College?

Radley College is a boarding school where you live and learn together during the school year. For over 170 years it has been helping boys unlock their potential and achieve some of the best exam results in the UK.

But it’s not just in the classroom that their amazing teachers can help you grow – at Radley you can try new sports like rowing or fencing, act in plays, join music groups, code robots, or take part in debates.

Interested in animals? Radley College’s biology department is home to ‘Radley Zoo’ – a collection of animals that help support students’ sssss-studies. They also have an animal club where you can learn all sorts of fascinating facts and even help take care of them. Plus, the college has a countryside centre, giving students hands-on experience of animal husbandry, including sheep, chickens and beagles. Pretty cool right?!

How can the Radley Keys Award help?

The Radley Keys Award is a bursary. This means it offers financial help to boys who currently go to state schools but want to try something new and exciting, and whose parents wouldn’t usually be able to afford the opportunity. All your education is paid for. Fees, food, uniform, trips, music lessons and more are covered. You even get a free iPad!

Who can apply?

If you’re in Year 6 now, your family can apply for this bursary. You don’t have to have the top exam marks, because Radley looks for boys who show promise and want to make the most of every chance they get.
