BURSAR’S BULLETIN Issue 23
Summer Term 2024
And so we start another Summer Term at Radley. The last term of the school year and the culmination of many things for our students and ourselves as we aim to end the year on a high. As with every term there is so much happening in the summer, and yet the pattern of the day is different, with an emphasis on exams and the outdoors. It seems appropriate that we have a spotlight on our Gardens team in this edition. The gardens look fantastic year round, but the fruits of much toil shows through so well from the blossoming of the wisteria onwards. We also have a new Nature Notes article and our ongoing programme of spotlights on people, their interests and more on our burgeoning partnership activities. Enjoy the read, and, as well as getting to know our staff, start to become acquainted with the dogs of Radley too. Here’s to a successful term!
We will shortly be launching a competition celebrating creativity in Oxfordshire! Held in partnership with The Oxford Times and judged by OR Jamie Laing, Bright Ideas is open to all children in years 4 and 5 and aims to unlock their imagination and creativity. The challenge is to create a response to the theme of ‘Keys’. Children can submit whatever feels most personal or appropriate to them. They may wish to write a story, poem or song, or make a video, design project, artwork or game. We are looking for imagination, flair and talent. The winner will receive a trophy and a £100 voucher and an invitation to a presentation day at Radley College on Saturday 29th June 2024 alongside nine runners-up. The competition launches soon so look out for details which will be published in The Oxford Times and other local newspapers and help us spread the word!
