Design at Radley College

Abstract

Radley is an independent school of some 130 years standing with about 540 boys and 5 daughters of masters who are resident for the duration of each term. As a starting place for a design department it would seem about as suitable as a pressure cooker because of its considerable emphasis on academic and sporting prowess. The subject unlike the remainder at Radley is a relative infant. At present the Oxford Boards '0' and 'Au levels are taught to what has been a steadily increasing number of pupils so that this coming school year we can expect 48 boys on two years of the course to '0' level and about twelve on the two years of the course to 'A' level.
