At Radnor House today you will find a dynamic mix of high academic standards, exceptional pastoral care, and expansive opportunities for pupils, all housed within an innovative and hugely successful environment.

At each step of the way, we stretch, challenge, and engage our pupils through an outstanding curriculum, encouraging them to consider and respond to all of their learning and reflect upon their experiences. Young people need knowledge but they also need more - to develop the habits of mind which will enable them to become adaptive, responsive, and caring adults, ready and confident to take their place in society. Our pupils are empowered to look after themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Effective pastoral care systems build resilience and adaptability, supporting and working alongside our young people as they navigate their formative years. The school's core values of ‘Excellence, Courage, Respect and Perseverance’ provide a guiding light and moral compass, helping to shape their decision making and preparing them for some of the very real challenges they will face beyond their school years. Radnor House is a co-educational selective day school on the banks of the River Thames in Twickenham. The school provides an all through education for boys and girls from ages 9 to 18. We are pleased to welcome families and operate a sibling policy when siblings of existing pupils are offered priority entry to the school. Entry into Year 5 is available from 2018 onwards.

Radnor House has an exciting Co-curricular program that represents a significant element of the educational experience, allowing pupils the opportunities to pursue or develop interests beyond the classroom. Sixth Form life is significantly different from the educational experiences that come before it. It is a two-year period where independence, ambition, and planning are the focus and where students make the exciting decisions that will open doors to further education and beyond. The Sixth Form at Radnor House aims to develop academically successful individuals who are confident in their ability, and confident in making the decisions necessary for entrance into university and the wider world of work. Beyond excellent learning and dedicated pastoral care, pupils benefit from expansive co-curricular opportunities, becoming genuinely immersed in all aspects of their broader learning. Through meaningful community involvement, an extensive and rich activities program, and a strong charitable focus, a deep sense of community and engagement is fostered. Pupils leave us knowing the importance and value of 'getting stuck in. Success in the future is often largely underpinned by academic achievement and, as such, you are expected to work hard and give your best in each of your subjects. You should feel excited about studying subjects about which you are passionate and that you might take on at an even higher level.

We work hard to create an environment where boys will be happy, grow in self-confidence, thrive academically, and make the most of the many opportunities we offer. We pride ourselves on the pursuit of excellence both inside the classroom and out, and on encouraging boys to develop their talents and discover new interests. As an unashamedly full boarding environment, Radley defines itself by its caring community where all, staff and boys alike, are passionate about what they do and dedicated to it. A Radley education is about independent thought and learning with enthusiasm. It is about cultural awareness and the benefits of team sport. It is about academic ambition. It is about learning to live with others. It is about preparation for the world beyond its gates. Above all, it is about the core values that will underpin success in all its forms throughout a Radleian’s life: as leaders, as citizens, as human beings. Radley has always inspired boys to become outstanding young men and we believe that our core values should never change: the timeless Christian qualities of humanity, compassion, and understanding of others. Yet as the world changes, so we must look at things afresh: we must make our values and the educational opportunity we provide genuinely relevant in a world of technology and expanding diversity, cultures, and attitudes. Our vision is to create global citizens of the future: those who care for and about others (citizens) and who can do so in any environment or place (global). We want all our boys to be ready to embrace the challenges of a future not yet realized. To do this, we must seek an increased number of boys from different backgrounds boys with different outlooks and experiences, from different social, cultural, and economic circumstances. We must ensure a Radley education remains within the reach of families who might now find an education here beyond them. We must seek boys of talent in all areas: boys who will create a profound and lasting impact on those around them and on the world in which they live. And we must then make sure that the education we offer them is outstanding and lifelong in its effects. At Radley, we seek to enable, guide, and inspire boys to become outstanding young men. We are a full-boarding single-sex environment, in beautiful rural surroundings with stunning facilities, four miles from the university city of Oxford: the perfect setting in which to provide the very best education. Each boy is encouraged, challenged, and expected to become a self-aware, confident, caring, and independent young man such that when he leaves, he will be ready for the world beyond school: able to engage, lead and shape his future success. Strategic Planning is reviewed regularly and all that the College does is measured by and against its core aims. In this way, we remain rooted in the past, relevant to the present, and ready for the future. We are proud of the traditions of the school but at the same time, we strive to innovate, develop, to improve. View full school

Rack House Primary School is a Community School for children aged 3 to 11 years. It was first opened in 1935. It serves the community of Northern Moor. The main entrance to the school is on Yarmouth Drive. There are also two pedestrian entrances: One on Lawton Moor Road and another on Newall Drive. The Governing Body needs to take a strategic role and be accountable for its decisions. It should set aims and objectives and agree on monitor, and review policies, targets, and priorities. The Foundation Stage covers the curriculum for ages 3 – 5 years and follows guidance from the Early Years Foundation Stage known as EYFS. The children are taught according to the stage of their development rather than their age and are grouped for specific tasks and activities. The National Curriculum is divided into four Key Stages that children are taken through during their school life. Key Stage 1 is taught during Years 1 and 2 of primary school when children are usually aged between 5 and 7. Key Stage 2 is taught during Years 3 to 6 of primary school when children are usually aged between 7 and 11. At Rack House Primary we work hard to provide support for all children to enable them to achieve their full potential at school. High-quality teaching which is differentiated and personalized should be available for all pupils. At the heart of the work of every school, class is a continuous cycle of planning, teaching, and assessing which takes account of the wide range of abilities, aptitudes, and interests of children. The majority of children will learn and progress within these arrangements, however, those children whose overall attainments or attainment in specific subjects are significantly outside the expected range may have special educational needs. Keeping our children safe is clearly of paramount importance to us all and below is a series of links to information and services that may help to keep our children safe in a digital world. Just click on the relevant logos on the left to visit the various information sources. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility! We must always act in the best interests of the children. We all have a part to play as soon as we come into contact with children. We ALL have a responsibility to ensure a safe environment is in place for our children and any issues JK is the safeguarding lead and D Amesbury is the Deputy. Any concerns speak to both and we will refer the problem to several agencies, depending on the concern, will depend on which agency we contact. Place all concerns on CPOMS. If a teacher notes FGM on a girl under 18, this must be reported to the police ASAP. If a threat/ concern places the child in immediate danger we will inform the police/ social services immediately. The governing body fully supports and is committed to the aims and objectives of Manchester City Council and the Children’s Services Directorate to provide a safe, secure and reassuring environment for staff, pupils, students, and visitors, encouraging everyone to have high aspirations and a love of learning. As safety is an important aspect of strategic leadership within the school, the Head and governors have the ultimate responsibility to ensure that the policy and practices are embedded and monitored. The named eSafety co-ordinator in our school is Katie Butler who has been designated this role as a member of the senior leadership team. All members of the school community have been made aware of who holds this post. It is the role of the eSafety co-ordinator to keep abreast of current issues and guidance through organizations such as Manchester LA, CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection), and Childnet. Senior Management and Governors are updated by the Head or safety coordinator and all governors have an understanding of the issues and strategies at our school about local and national guidelines and advice. This policy, supported by the school’s acceptable use agreements for staff, governors, visitors, and pupils (appendices), is to protect the interests and safety of the whole school community. It is linked to the following mandatory school policies: child protection and safeguarding, health and safety, home–school agreements, and behavior/pupil discipline (including the anti-bullying) policy and PHSE. Rack House Primary School will put into place effective strategies for assessment and record keeping providing a continuous record of learners’ achievements and their progress. It will be kept to the minimum necessary to be fit for the purpose. It will be the basis for passing on information from one stage to the next to make the transition smooth. It will be used to keep parents well informed of their child’s progress and achievement through both verbal dialogue and written reports. Parents and learners will be involved in the assessment, record keeping, and reporting strategy at appropriate points. Assessment is not separate from, but an integral part of, the curriculum plan and its strategies for teaching and learning. Recording achievement recognizes not only the skills and knowledge in written form but also practical skills, social attitudes, and personal qualities that represent the wider aims of education. This policy should be read in conjunction with the marking policy. View full school

All our staff, governors, and partners associated with the school share and work towards the same vision, which is: ‘Together with Christ, striving to achieve the best for every child’. School Aims: To give every child opportunities to grow spiritually and to learn about following Christ. To provide a stimulating environment in which each child is given the opportunity of achieving their potential in all areas of learning and experience. To foster the development of knowledge, skills, and understanding which relates to national and local educational legislation and advice. To monitor the progress of each child and respond to their needs. To take the opportunity of promoting Christian influences on the attitude and behavior of all those connected with the school. To encourage the children to adopt a sense of responsibility for their behavior, a caring attitude towards each other, and a concern for the world in which we live. To encourage a sense of mutual trust and partnership between all those connected with the school. In the Birmingham community, cohesion means working towards a society in which strong and positive relationships exist and continue to be developed in schools, in the workplace, and in the wider community. This is achieved through shared values which would include: the valuing of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, tolerance, and mutual respect of people’s backgrounds and circumstances promoting equal opportunities and challenging discrimination, all of which is based on the Equality Act 2010 and is non-negotiable.

Queenswood is a community where girls achieve outstanding results, both in and beyond the classroom. The opportunities for growth and development for boarders and daygirls are extensive, exciting, and fun. Most importantly, Queenswood girls are happy – and happy girls are successful girls. There is no doubt that Queenswood girls excel academically. The grades they achieve at GCSE are consistently around one grade higher in every subject than would be expected at an average independent school. Or, as the Good Schools Guide puts it, Queenswood is ‘at the pinnacle of Hertfordshire’s value-added tables’. This is something of which we are immensely proud. Likewise, they thrive in our truly progressive Sixth Form and proceed to a wide range of prestigious courses at top Universities. In the future, our girls will be leaders in their chosen fields. They will need to be able to try, and fail, and try again with a positive attitude. These are qualities that Queenswood girls develop through their time here and take with them for the rest of their lives. This is a dynamic learning community where the girls’ interests, happiness, and wellbeing are the first consideration at all times. Our girls are at the heart of everything we do, and we know that they feel valued and enriched by the experiences they share here. The Educational Home for the Daughters of Wesleyan Ministers opened in Clapton, London in 1869 then transferred to Clapham Park, London, and closed in 1893, only to re-open as Queenswood School on 23 September 1894, with 23 girls. The first headmistress, Marion Waller, was the daughter of the school’s founder Dr. David Waller. The name Queenswood derives from a lecture by John Ruskin (1819-1900) “Of Queens’ Gardens” published in 1865 in Sesame and Lilies and so does the school motto, in hortis reginæ (“In Queens’ Gardens”). Ruskin’s ideas on the education, power, and place of women in a society formed the basis of the school ethos. In 1897, Miss Waller became engaged and resigned from her post. Ethel Mary Trew took over and stayed as Headmistress for nearly 50 years. She was a great champion of Ruskin. Her ideas are clearly expressed in the symbolism of the school crest: “And what shall be said about that lamp of knowledge and owl of wisdom that, with the lyre of music and song, complete the school crest? The lamp of knowledge burns brightly enough such varied forces feed its flame that every girl, no matter how untalented, may add to its brilliance. The owl’s wisdom not only makes good pupils but also good citizens, strong reliable women, fair wives, and mothers.” In 1925 Queenswood transferred to its present location at Sheepwell House in Hatfield. Here girls studied Horticulture, Botany, and Nature Study. They wore white chanting silk dresses from Liberty’s of London, in imitation of the white water-lilies from Sesame and Lilies and they walked: “... in Queens’ gardens where such blooms as Gladness and Joy, Flora and the Graces flourish is the gift that Queenswood has brought...”.
