Hello!
DD got an unexpected place at Radnor and I am finding their comms with us not great, and there is no offer day either - le sigh. However, I still like the school and the transport/vibe is good for us. I am curious to know what the gender split is like in the lower years (I know it's boy-heavy in the higher) and how the girls get on at advanced maths and other stem subjects. Also, how are they in terms of art, music and drama?
Any insight from current Radnor parents greatly appreciated.
Also, do the comms get better once you're in the school?? 😅

Any Radnor House experiences from parents of girls?

I echo the feedback from others. The Senior school is great for girls and boys! Unfortunately the new Radnor Prep school isn’t quite as good - as an example for the summer sports terms, there is no netball, athletics or lacrosse on offer for the girls. The girls can do cricket or rugby…..Secondly when kids are away for sports fixtures, there is no program in place to ensure they make up the classes/work they have missed.(which happens in the Senior school). Lastly unlike most state or private schools, the teachers don’t send a summary of what work the kids have covered during the week, nor what they will be focusing on the next week……The Prep school has unfortunately chosen to create its own path, vs replicating the hugely successful recipe of the senior school which would ensure a great transition for children going from the Prep to the Senior school. Hoping Dukes Education step in to raise the bar for the prep school!
