Inspectors

This section is designed to mirror the ISI booklet Documentation Required for Inspection – April 2021. It covers the “On school website or ISI’s portal” column and most of “To be emailed when inspection is announced” column. Please click on the boxes below to open up that section.

• Timings of the school day: Radley Timings more details available on request. Being a full boarding school, some activities continue later into the evening than is usual in other schools (notably Chapel, Social Prayers and Cocoa). I appreciate the difficulties of fitting these into inspection days which are already long but I do think it is important that they are seen to give a proper flavour of Radley.
• Timetable: We work on a two week cycle and so this will have to be prepared once the inspection is announced. We would aim to have it with you by the end of the day the inspection is announced.
• Events and Activities during the Inspection: Please see the calendar. We will also aim to give you a list of activities happening during the inspection by the end of the day the inspection is announced.
• Plan of all sections of the school: Radley Map with Departments.
