We are delighted to announce that Ofsted have officially confirmed that The Radcliffe School is a “good” school. Following an Ofsted Inspection on 7th and 8th October 2009, we have come out of the Special Measures category. Ofsted’s assessment follows our record breaking GCSE results in August 2009.
The Ofsted Report describes the school as:
“Going to great lengths to ensure no student is left to struggle alone with their problems. Students, including those with special needs and/or disabilities are making good progress.”
“The quality of teaching and learning is now good, common features of good teaching seen by inspectors were excellent subject knowledge and clear explanations to help students learn quickly. Well founded targets in all subjects are set for every student and the progress towards these is checked through regular assessments. Those falling behind are helped to get back on track in a range of effective ways.”
“Because the school fosters it so well, and in many varied ways, students’ spiritual, moral and social development is good. Students are very polite, show a great concern for the needs of others in the school community and beyond, and have a keen sensitivity to and awareness of the feelings and beliefs of others. They say the school constantly encourages them to have healthy lifestyles and they praise the staff for their support.” Continue reading Welcome to The Radcliffe School
We will be running several revision sessions for Year 11 students over the Easter break. We strongly recommend that students attend as many sessions as possible in order to help them prepare for the summer exams. For more information about the sessions, please click here.

This year’s Year 11 Prom will take place at Wilton Hall in Bletchley on Thursday 1st July 2010. In recent years, the Prom has been a very special and thoroughly enjoyable event, and our students have all looked amazing in their fabulous formal wear. This year’s Prom promises to be even better!
We only have a limited number of tickets, so we recommend that students buy their tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment! A disco and sit down meal are included in the ticket price.
Tickets cost £25 and to secure a place, a deposit of £15 is required by Friday 12th March 2010. Full payment is due by Friday 11th June 2010. Tickets will not be available to buy on the door. Payments can be made by instalments and tickets are currently on sale from the relevant Head of House Office. Only students from the current Year 11 of The Radcliffe School will be admitted.

The Prom is the last chance for our Year 11 students to socialise as a group, so we really hope that as many students as possible are able to come. It will be a fantastic evening!
