What is happening at Radley with the 2020 Common Entrance exams?

As we expected, boys who are holding conditional offers for Radley are no longer expected to sit the Common Entrance exam in June.

If your son is at a prep school, he may be asked to sit the exam as a way of gauging progress. If you are overseas or at a school which does not prepare for CE, I would suggest you complete the ISEB syllabus because it gives a brilliant grounding for Y9. Without the pressure of exams, you might want to try:

Identifying smaller, more challenging topics which you might have rushed and really nail them.

or

Finding an area your child really loves (tectonic plates? algebra? autobiographies) and link this interest to a home project (research, interview, create!)

If you are stuck for ideas, do please contact me and I will see what I can think of.

Above all: don't worry about missing out, all new Radleians will be examined in September or October for setting purposes.
