The Radley Keys Award is an all-inclusive scholarship programme for talented and ambitious boys from families who would not normally consider an independent boarding education. The award is aimed at boys currently attending a primary or secondary state school. Our carefully curated assessment process has been specifically designed to recognise and reward potential over prior attainment.

Following means-testing, Radley Keys Award holders pay no fees and we will fund all the extras, allowing boys to focus on reaching their goals and maximising the opportunities on offer at Radley. We are looking for boys for entry at 11+ (Year 7) and 16+ (Year 12) who are engaged and engaging, sparky, creative and resilient. We want boys who will get stuck in, make the most of every opportunity and, in doing so, have a positive impact on those around them.
