Elisabeth Anderson joined Radley as Development Director in June 2020. She is responsible for realising the Warden’s ambitious vision to significantly increase the funding available to ensure we can support talented and ambitious boys who require support with our fees.

Elisabeth also oversees the Radleian Society and is eager to strengthen the connections across the Radley community through a busy programme of events for Old Radleians and parents. She was previously Director of Development at Fettes College in Edinburgh and Bryanston School in Dorset. She has been Chairman and a trustee of the Institute of Development Professionals in Education (IDPE) and is currently Chair of a primary school in Didcot. Away from Radley, Elisabeth enjoys the theatre, opera and has renewed a childhood passion for model railways.

Sophie joined the Development Team in March 2022. She works across both the Radleian Society and the Radley Foundation, creating printed and digital communications to engage the Radley community. She is the editor of the annual Old Radleian alumni magazine and is responsible for the monthly e-newsletter and event bulletin.

Previously, Sophie worked in Engagement and Events at the University of Oxford for 15 years. This included roles at the Bodleian Libraries, Botanic Garden, and Ashmolean Museum. She is passionate about bringing collections and institutions to life for their audiences. She enjoys learning about everything from medieval history to exogeology, and is happiest when outside studying trees, looking at stars or collecting fossils.

Cassandra joined the Development Team as Events Co-ordinator in July 2016, and has been able to utilise her meticulous attention to detail and strong organisational skills when arranging the ever-growing events programme, she also very much enjoys connecting people up.

Having worked for eight years as an estate agent, and another eight years within the Criminal Justice Department at Thames Valley Police, Cassandra decided to make a career change. She is pleased that she did!

Cassandra is passionate about exercise and she frequents the Radley gym in her spare time, as well as doing a lot of running and walking. She lives in a village half an hour away with her rescue cat and youngest son. She is a foodie, travel and music enthusiast, and enjoys getting together with friends and family for walks, theatre trips, cinema, gigs and meals. Cassandra also has a lesser-known interest in space and the paranormal.

Previously, Roland worked in Supply Chain Analytics at Tesco and Product Analytics at Uber, the latter of which being based in Amsterdam for four years. He is passionate about fitness and spends most of his spare time training for triathlons.
