The R adley Foundation and Development report 2017

Introductions 2 Message from the Warden

Foreword from the Chairman of Trustees Radley in my mind’s eye is almost synonymous with Clock Tower. No Radleian could fail to recall its steady, quarterly clang, the College heartbeat. At the centre of the campus it has always been a common reference point. If the Tower stands for Radley past, the Clock marks the present (passing of time), and the Court – Radley’s equivalent of the Forum – is the future. It aptly symbolises how the College has evolved successfully over the past half century, building on what is already there. The Foundation, established as a distinct charity in 2000, is also a case of successful evolution. It built on a pre-existing sister charity which had provided ad hoc support for College appeals since 1975. Within the overall objective of supporting the College and its endowment, its primary objective is to build up scholarship and bursary funds, through a principal fund and a range of more specific funds. It has proved its worth, with recipients of Foundation Awards recording how it has changed their lives, and it has provided assistance to many other boys at or after admission. The Foundation will play a pivotal role in helping to deliver our vision for the School of enhanced opportunity, increased diversity, and slaying the bugbear of ‘unaffordability’. I am delighted to welcome this Report, the first of its kind since 2007. The intention is, every two years, to provide donors and all those interested in the work of the Foundation, with a readable, up-to-date account of the Foundation’s work and insight into what it is achieving, instead of having to rely on intermittent articles in Lusimus and the Foundation accounts. In the middle pages, we have also included an update on the Development Plans for the College, comprising important improvements and enhancements that go to the heart of our vision for the future of Radley. I hope and believe that you will find the Report makes interesting and encouraging reading. On behalf of all the Trustees I express our whole-hearted and sincere thanks to all of you who have supported and continue to support the Foundation and its work.

How you can support us

An exciting new er a These are exciting times for Radley. The strategy, the product of many monthsʼ discussion between Council, Warden and his Senior Management team and Common Room, is clear and now the resources are available to begin implementation. The central issue for Radley (and all Independent Schools) is affordability. At the heart of our strategy is the objective of building a £130 million pound endowment fund to deliver our founder, William Sewell’s stated objective of 10% of pupils (or the equivalent fee remission spread over a greater number) receiving free education. With planning consent received for housing developments on two sites in the College’s ownership, we expect to make a big step towards our goal and we have every confidence that the Radley community will, over time, help us to reach our objective. British Public Schools have built a reputation for a worldclass education. Radley is at the forefront of this movement and will continue to invest in staff, facilities and extracurricular activities. Specifically, as set out on page 16, we plan to build an eleventh social, enlarge our wonderful chapel to preserve ‘whole school’ worship which we judge to be absolutely integral to a Radley education, and upgrade our science block amongst other improvements on our campus. Thanks to effective stewardship of the College’s finances over a long period, and the generosity of donors too, funding is in place to deliver this programme over the next five years. The by-product of these two elements of our strategy – to build a substantial endowment and enlarge the school – will enable us to deliver the third element: to diversify the intake to Radley from a broader socio-economic and cultural background, whilst staying true to our current registration policy. This we believe will be beneficial to all Radleians and enhance our ability to prepare them for the challenges of the Global economy.

Mike Hodgson, Chairman of Council

Timeless Values in a changing world

When William Sewell was pondering how he could fill the school that he and Singleton had founded, he was supremely confident. “There is no place in England,” he said, referring to the locality of Oxford, “where we should be more likely to get boys… undergraduates, hearing of our fame, would be sure to take home the most flattering accounts, and thus we should soon be stocked with students… in fact, we have only to choose instead of to search.” It did not prove quite as easy as that, however. The location was excellent, and the vision for the education Radley would offer was clear and distinct, but it took more than optimism to attract the punters. It was to be several years before Radley established itself effectively. As we seek to build on what Sewell and Singleton founded, 170 years on, I am nevertheless still inspired by that confidence. There was an admirably wholehearted optimism about Sewell as to what Radley should and would be – and while many things have changed, the desire for the school to emphasise the values of kindness, generosity and individual care in a community that prides itself on the close relationship between Dons and boys, in a beautiful setting with Chapel at its heart, has not. We can look confidently to the future. In facing our challenge, as we seek to deliver the vision of broadening the provision of scholarships and bursaries, we have two clear advantages that Sewell did not. The first is that we have a heritage to take inspiration from, rather than simply an idea. We have generations of Radleians before us, and a school that is highly successful. We have an ethos that continues to attract huge affection and loyalty from all who are connected with it. We build on solid foundations. Secondly, we have the Radley Foundation. Sewell and Singleton spent much of their time in those early years seeking sponsors for their ideas, writing and speaking to people who might be willing to help realise their vision. They did so without a network, without core

“Fee income sustains a school day-to-day; philanthropy builds a school, both literally and metaphorically, over generations.”

supporters, without a tradition of generosity behind them. Again, we have the advantage of following in the footsteps of the extraordinary generosity of those who came before us – seen time and again, and particularly so since Warden Morgan set up the Foundation in 2000. Radley would not be where it is today without such generosity. This fact strikes me daily, as I walk through every building, and as I meet any boy, past or present, who has been the recipient of a scholarship or bursary. Fee income sustains a school day-to-day; philanthropy builds a school, both literally and metaphorically, over generations. Our plans are bold. They deliberately have at their heart the desire to support those who would otherwise be unable to come to Radley, boys from a variety of backgrounds. They give confidence that such awards will be of benefit not just to those boys, but to all around them; that through them we will enrich and protect the very ethos that we so proudly advocate. They go beyond the mere fact of the awards themselves in unashamedly emphasising the ongoing importance of the environment in which a Radley education happens, and the values that underpin it. They rely on the Foundation’s help to be realised. You will read in these pages about what matters most: the personal experiences of those who have benefited from the generosity of donors and the evidence of the impact such donations can have. You will find testimonials from those who have donated and how they have enjoyed engaging with and supporting Radley. You will find out how you can help. And, of course, you will see the outline of projects that will be at the centre of our planning over the next few years. As you read this report, I trust that you will be inspired by what we have achieved and what we are trying to achieve – and, in whatever way you can, be ready to support us. We are always building on Sewell’s vision. I think we can share his optimism, his ambition and his confidence that what he was doing was more than worthwhile. John Moule, Warden

INTRODUCTIONS

GIVING TO THE R ADLEY FOUNDATION THE HEADLINE NUMBERS The Last Ten Years

2016/17 – a Record Year for the Foundation

Since the last Foundation Report was published in 2007, members of the Radley community have contributed an impressive £10.8 million in charitable donations to the Radley Foundation. Of this total:

In the last twelve months alone (ending July 31st 2017), members from across the Radley community have contributed an extraordinary £2,493,143 in charitable donations towards the work of the Foundation – our best year yet. A further £1,935,783 was pledged in donations to come in future years.

£4.6 million has been given towards our general Scholarships and Bursaries Fund, giving financial support to those who need it. In addition to this: £1.8 million has been given to our Armed Forces Fund (see page 8) £1.1 million has been added to the Silk Fund (see page 8), which now has a value of £2.5 million

The gifts received during the year comprised:

£1,430,981 towards the provision of Scholarships and Bursaries, both for our general ‘Scholarships and Bursaries Capital Fund’ and a range of specific named funds (see pages 8-9)

£0.7 million has been contributed to further named bursary funds in honour and memory of particular individuals (pages 8-9)

£1.1 million has been directed to important facilities and building-related projects

£516,064 in leadership gifts towards the creation of our Matched Funding Challenge (see page 42) to further support our fundraising for Scholarships and Bursaries

£1.5 million has been given for Trustees’ Discretion £282,938 towards the creation of new Facilities (specifically the new Science Building and the Strength and Conditioning Centre – see pages 26-28)

Facilities £1.1 million

£263,160 towards our Trustees’ Discretion Fund

Trusteesʼ Discretion £1.5 million

Scholarships and Bursaries £8.2 million

THE IMPACT OF YOUR DONATIONS The Last Ten Years Since the last Foundation Report was published, 107 deserving boys have been supported with Foundation Awards, giving them the chance of a Radley education that they simply would have been unable to enjoy otherwise. As our fundraising has increased, so too has our capacity to support deserving and talented boys. In 2016/17 alone, 59 boys were in receipt of a Foundation Award. Overleaf, we describe the stories of just three boys who have been supported through the generosity given by donors to the Radley Foundation. In recent years, the College has sought increasingly to allocate its limited financial resources to means-tested Bursary awards, rather than Scholarships:

The difference between Scholarships and Bursaries Scholarships: are awarded publicly, and without meanstesting, in cases of exceptional merit (whether academic, artistic, musical or sporting). We limit the financial benefit of a scholarship to a maximum of 10% of fees. This allows us to direct a greater proportion of available funding to Bursaries. Bursaries: are awarded privately to boys who need financial help in order to come to and/or remain at the College. All bursary awards are rigorously means-tested, ensuring that our limited resource is allocated where it is most needed and deserved.

Building Projects Supported in Recent Years

Clock Tower Court. Opened in 2013, and replacing the Old Gym, Clock Tower Court provides the home for the History and Politics departments as well as a light and spacious Art gallery and a coffee shop which is used frequently for recitals, talks and opportunities for boys, Dons and visitors to the College to meet.

The Jock Mullard Rowing Tank. Opened formally in Sept 2015, this new facility provides the finest indoor facilities, enabling year-round training for the College’s crews (see page 39). Named in honour of JKM who was the 1st VIII Coach for 14 years and then Master in charge of Rowing from 1981 to 1990 and 1995 to 2000.

Giving to The Radley Foundation

The Silk Fund It will very soon be the 50th anniversary of Dennis Silk’s arrival at Radley in 1968 – and it is over 25 years since the Silk Fund was launched, upon his retirement, in 1991. When Warden Silk retired, after 23 remarkable years, he asked that, instead of receiving a cash gift himself from wellwishers, a fund should be set up to provide bursaries for talented boys whose parents could not otherwise afford the school fees. Since then, the capital in the fund has grown to well over £2 million as a result of further donations and every year new financial awards are made to deserving boys. The Silk Fund is an ‘endowed’ fund, such that only the fund’s annual income is used to make bursary awards, and donors’ gifts thus provide a benefit in perpetuity.

THE RICHARD MORGAN Fund An Old Radleian – we shall call him AD – sat cross-legged on the floor of a Community Centre in West London and made an instant decision. He was going to help one of these children from the local housing estate to change their life completely. “If I were to offer one of you a completely different sort of education to the one you know now, would you be interested?” “Absolutely not” was the reply from eleven of the boys; but one said “tell me more, please”. And so started a long journey that would lead to the creation of ‘The Richard Morgan Award’ within the Radley Foundation, helping to create life-changing opportunities for talented boys. Whereas the Silk Fund is an endowed fund, the Richard Morgan Fund is an ‘immediate use’ fund, thus ensuring donors’ gifts have an immediate and substantial impact.

THE SPECIFIC FU GENEROUSLY The Armed Forces Fund

The Hugo Rutland Memorial Fund The Hugo Rutland Memorial Fund was created in 2005 after the tragic death of Hugo in a drowning accident while on holiday with his family. The fund provides the much-needed financial support for current Radley parents finding themselves in sudden and unforeseen financial difficulties and hardship. One mother, whose son benefitted from the fund during her husband’s terminal illness, wrote to us recently: “At the time, Radley’s help was absolutely invaluable, not only financially but spiritually as well. [S] and I were able to relax a little knowing that [H] would continue to flourish in a place he so loved. He left Radley with great results and after three exciting years at Manchester University is now settled in a good job in London and has three house mates who are Old Radleians too!”

The ‘AFF’ has been the leading fund of the Radley Foundation in recent years. It was set up following the loss in Afghanistan of two Old Radleians, Lieutenant Colonel Rupert Thorneloe MBE and Lieutenant Dougie Dalzell MC, and following other ORs being wounded – notably Captain Harry Parker who was severely injured by an IED while serving in Helmand Province. Working in partnership with Downe House and St Mary’s Calne the AFF helps fund the education of sons and daughters of Service men and women of all ranks killed or wounded while serving their country. The boys go to Radley and the girls to either Downe House or St Mary’s. With the wonderful generosity of the three schools’ communities, over £2 million has so far been raised in support of the Fund with a number of boys and girls already benefitting. Our ultimate target of £5 million will fund the education of between 5 and 15 children annually in perpetuity, depending on the size of their means-tested awards.

THE 2017 LEAVERS’ LEGACY The 2017 Leavers’ Legacy is a new initiative – created for the parents and families of all the boys leaving Radley this summer. Its goal is to bring together and harness the support and partnership of those families whose boys have benefitted from what Radley has given them, in such a way that they can help Radley to make it possible for other boys to benefit in the same way in the future. It enables the particular interests of every family to be aligned to our vision for Radley by offering a selection of sub-funds: the 2017 Leavers’ Bursary Fund, the 2017 Academic Fund and the 2017 Sports Development Fund. At the time of writing, we have been thrilled and very grateful to have received pledges of over £370,000.

THE Malcolm Robinson Memorial Fund Malcolm Robinson was an outstanding Head of History at Radley from 1967 to 1974. During this short period of seven years, 27 boys succeeded in getting into Oxford or Cambridge as a result of his enthusing them about History and encouraging them to achieve the very best that they could. The Fund provides awards to Radleians in the Sixth Form to travel to William and Mary College in the USA during the school holidays to study American History.

UNDS YOU HAVE Y SUPPORTED The JAMES WESSON BURSARY Fund Launched last year in memory of WJW, the Tutor of A Social between 1995 and 2004 and Master in charge of Cricket, the JWBF has captured the imagination of many Cricketers, A Social ORs, and their parents too. In little over 4 weeks, we were overwhelmed to receive donations of just over £250,000 – to provide bursary support for future Radleians, particularly those with a passion for cricket. The first recipient of any award through the Fund in James’ memory arrived at Radley last September.

TRUSTEES’ DISCRETION Not all of our donors know precisely how they would like their contributions to be allocated and used; they are keen to show their support for the College, but would like to leave the decision on how their donations are used to the College’s Trustees and Council. We are delighted and very grateful to receive gifts in this way. Donations to the Trusteesʼ Discretion Fund come to us every year at all levels – and are used to support the most pressing and immediate needs of the College. Sometimes, these will relate to the creation of important teaching or extra-curricular facilities; on other occasions, donations are used to bolster other funds used in the provision of much-needed bursary awards. Donations can be made either on an endowed basis or for ‘immediate use’.

BENEFICIARIES’ STORIES

“Being awarded a place at Radley was an amazing opportunity – I felt like I’d won the lottery! It pulled me back from a path of emptiness and a potential cliff edge…”

In the last ten years, 107 boys have benefitted directly from scholarships and means-tested bursaries funded by donations. Many more have benefitted through the presence and contribution these boys have made to College life, and to the provision of facilities that donations to the Foundation have also supported. Impact is perhaps best illustrated with short and personal accounts from three beneficiaries.

Dallon’s Story: A Journey of SelfDiscovery and Personal Growth Dallon Jones came to Radley from a state school in Milton Keynes. Following a transformative two years at Radley, he is now in his third year studying Chemistry at Bristol University and over the summer has been working as a fundraiser for St Mungo’s (a charity tackling homelessness). He aspires to start his own company and make an impact in the world: socially, economically and quite possibly in the field of technology and science. I remember those first few weeks so vividly: my time at Radley was a huge cultural shock initially – and a real challenge for me. My background was extraordinarily different and at my previous school there were a lot of people who weren’t set on the right path in life at all. Being awarded a place at Radley was an amazing opportunity and I remember feeling like I’d won the lottery! It pulled me

back from a potential cliff edge. I was initially intimidated because of the very different environment that I’d come from…this led to a lot of insecurity. But the Dons and the school were incredibly supportive and really helped me – and when I started achieving academically, it gave me further strength. Radley makes intellectual progression a lot easier. You can’t help but work hard to better yourself, partly because there’s real passion all around you. The teachers are fantastic – they seemed to me to be genuinely interested in the boys themselves and in sharing their own enormous subject knowledge. Radley presents opportunities for students to push themselves to reach as far as they want. I was one of the quietest boys in my year and when I threw myself into and subsequently won Declamations, it made me realise what I can actually achieve if I set my mind to it. I came to understand that there is no limit to who I can be and what I can accomplish…

Henry’s Story: Benefiting from the Sheer Breadth of Opportunity Henry McPherson arrived at Radley from a small school in Worcestershire. He enjoyed countless opportunities he would otherwise not have had – and is now an award-winning composer, based in Scotland (www.henrymcpherson.org.uk) Radley gave me access to incredibly high-quality teaching and an environment that was simply jam-packed full of learning – whether in performing arts, sports, more academic studies or even off-curriculum interests. The sheer breadth of that opportunity, on so many different levels, was nothing short of outstanding – not just in terms of future career development but also in helping me and the other boys to develop well-rounded knowledge and insight into many areas. Looking back at my days as a Music and Drama Scholar, I cannot help but acknowledge the long-lasting impact of the breadth of opportunity that I was afforded. The friendliness of the pastoral staff, the calibre of academic tuition, and the unfaltering support and encouragement of the Music and Drama departments provided me with a platform for personal development without which I feel it is unlikely I would be where I am today. Being exposed to such a high level of ability – and, for me, professional musicianship and stage-work – from a very early age can really show you the way forward. That total immersion in the depth of knowledge and experience in whatever field you’ve chosen to pursue really makes a difference. As I now come to the end of my studies in Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, I am very grateful to Radley, to the Foundation, and in particular to the dedication of the teaching staff for the incredible experiences I enjoyed while at the school. Henry McPherson

Conor’s Story: Discovering Cultural Differences Life at Radley made me realise that I’d initially put limiting beliefs on myself; self-fulfilling insecurities that held me back. Lots of other people do the exact same thing, and don’t ‘let’ themselves achieve their full potential. But at Radley, you’re given the freedom to explore new opportunities – and that really helped me to mature emotionally and become the person I am today. Doing the things that I was given the chance to do at Radley – sailing and rowing, flying with the RAF section, acting, even learning to swim (!) – made all of those irrational constraints come undone. And I will always be truly grateful for that. In simple terms, Radley saved my life. Without it, I don’t think I would ever have developed the confidence and ambition that I have now and the longstanding relationships with people that I enjoy today. At some point in the future, I would love to give back to Radley and help to further improve the chances of others boys benefitting as I did. Dallon Jones

One of the ten deserving winners so far of an award through the Malcolm Robinson Memorial Fund, Conor Mosedale left Radley last year. He came back to a special lunch held in London in the Spring this year at which many of the donors to the Fund gathered, along with members of Malcolm’s family, to hear the heart-warming stories of the impact that their gifts had had on the programme’s beneficiaries. He writes: Oscar Wilde (allegedly) claimed that “England and America are two nations divided by a common language” and it is true that we tend to overlook the cultural gulf between ourselves and our transatlantic neighbours. The Malcolm Robinson Memorial Fund allowed me to make my first trip to the United States in the summer of 2015, and it enabled me to discover profound cultural differences that both fascinated and surprised me. For three weeks, I attended the College of William & Mary in Virginia, where I took part in an intense course, studying American history. While the knowledge and academic nous I gained were worth the trip alone, of far more value was the cultural experience. During my time in the United States, I made some great friends – and the experience re-defined my aims and ambitions for the future. I owe all of this to Radley’s Malcolm Robinson Memorial Fund. For me, it was a truly life-changing opportunity. Conor Mosedale

DONORS’ STORIES We are indebted to the many donors who, at all levels, have provided their support and partnership to the Radley Foundation over the years. Here one Old Radleian and two parents describe their reasons for doing so:

The Belief and Drive to Make a Difference I’m a passionate believer that greater equality and diversity open up new and exciting possibilities. For individuals, broadening one’s horizons in life leads to so many more springboards to new opportunities. But for us all education is the key to everyone getting the best out of people; it’s the key to unlocking people’s lives. Unlocking people’s abilities through education opens the world to them. Simply speaking, I donate to the Foundation because I want to give the same opportunity that I myself had at Radley. The world has changed massively in recent years. It’s a much more connected place now and people need to be considerably more rounded and aware of the realities of the world to appreciate the possibilities it affords and to make the greatest contribution. For me, donating to the Foundation is all about realizing and supporting what Radley can do for people in the future. I admire the outward-looking vision of bringing 21st century opportunity and diversity into the Radley of the future, whilst crucially retaining the College’s underlying core strengths and traditional values. This approach is all about opening pupils’ minds to the bigger world and also to the fact that there are massive differences out there in people’s choices and lives. The boys get to appreciate different life experiences and viewpoints through the presence of Foundation bursaries and scholarships and that, in turn, allows those from different backgrounds to also experience the unparalleled quality of a Radley education – the fantastic facilities, the incredibly nurturing environment. And it all happens in a way that comes full circle back to what Sewell wanted to achieve all those years ago when he first founded the school.

The modern Radley vision – and its focus on bursaries, in particular – is about giving people who deserve it, and desperately want it, the chance to have and benefit from a Radley education. For me that means a wider-looking, fully-rounded education – one in which boys benefit from all the sporting and social aspects of the school experience, as well as the best possible teaching and intellectual fulfilment. But beyond that, I admire the boys that Radley produces and their innate qualities: what they stand for; their quiet determination and confidence; the way they go about their lives and careers. I am truly proud to donate to the Foundation because it’s creating a stronger future for us all. Radley gives you not only an impressive education but also the drive to achieve – and, perhaps more importantly, the essential belief in yourself to go out into the world and make a difference. Ultimately, we and society as a whole will be the beneficiaries. Tom Holroyd (D Social)

Investing in a Future Full of Opportunity Education is one of the most important things that you can give children. Radley has always had a distinctive, nurturing and, put simply, a ‘nice’ feel to it: the college caters so well for all ranges of ability and interest, from budding actors to rowers and cricketers, to those wanting to go and hunt with the beagles, right through to supporting all sorts of intellectual pursuits, within the curriculum and beyond it. During their time at Radley, our two boys learned to work hard and, perhaps above all, to be themselves. They’re both country-orientated, but with very different interests and aspirations – and Radley provided a perfect education and springboard for both of them, helping them not only to broaden their intellectual horizons, but to also discover and nurture their interest in a range of different activities, all of which has given them real confidence and ambition for life. We have chosen to support the Radley Foundation with two thoughts very much in mind: As parents, we donated to help make a difference. We know that school fees typically only cover running costs and maintenance requirements. But to start changing things at a more significant level – building new facilities, developing and creating more opportunities – you’ve actually got to have more money; and that’s where donations come in. The College was founded in 1847 and the Victorians were always pretty good at philanthropy. Today, people forget that they’re only benefiting from the Radley experience – the amazing buildings, the beautiful grounds and everything else – because of the investment made over generations by a lot of people (parents, Old Radleians and other philanthropists) in creating such an inspiring place. So we believe that each generation has a moral duty to carry on doing that. Now that our boys have moved on, we continue to donate in just that spirit. We are currently helping to pay the fees of a boy receiving a bursary; paying for the education of a boy who we have never met, and actually have no intention of meeting. We simply feel that being able to help an individual in this way is a good thing. All we know is that we are able to support the Foundation in this way, and that this boy is someone who will genuinely benefit from being stretched and being given higher aspirations than he might otherwise have had. And that’s actually all that we need to know – our boys have benefited from a Radley education, and now we’re enabling another to experience the same opportunities. John and Doone Chatfeild-Roberts

Giving to The Radley Foundation

OUR FUTURE AMBITIONS AND GOALS Since its creation under the Wardenship of Richard Morgan in 2000, and through the extraordinary generosity of its donors, the Foundation has played a vital role in supporting the College and creating the sort of life-changing educational opportunities that are described on the pages before. Now we seek to enable Radley to make the transformational change required to realise our vision and ambitions for the future: There are three ‘strategic pillars’ that lie at the heart of this vision:

PEOPLE – we want the College to be a place of diversity, seeking out and attracting boys who possess the qualities to make the most of themselves and help transform the lives of those around them PLACE – we want to increase significantly the scale of opportunity we are able to provide the boys: delivering a world-class education in world-class facilities

PURPOSE – we want to instil in Radleians the values, moral courage and inner strength to connect effectively within the modern world – not merely to succeed, but to make things better for those around them These three pillars provide the natural basis upon which the Foundation and its fundraising efforts will be focussed. Most fundamentally, we want to increase significantly the scale of opportunity we are able to provide for boys to benefit from a Radley education. Our goal is to enable 20% of the College (up to

Fundraising Goals The Chairman of Council explains in his Introduction to this Report that there is a substantial and bold objective for the College, if it is to realise this Vision: to build an endowment, over the next 20 years, of £130 million. A number of important elements will contribute substantially towards this, most notably the College’s existing endowment (c.£20 million) and the proceeds from the sale of land (described in more detail on page 16). The work of the Foundation, however, will play a vital and central role and our immediate goal is to raise £10 million

in charitable donations over the next five years.

We hope substantially to exceed this, and later in this document you can read of how, at every level, we will be grateful for the support and partnership of members of the Radley community. Within the coming months, we will be launching an Appeal and inviting Old Radleians, parents and other friends of the College to become involved and providing many ways in which they may choose to do so. We will continue to seek support for our existing funds, but alongside these we will be launching two important new funds which we are delighted to outline on the facing page.

150 boys) to get the financial help that they need.

These boys – and the talents, passions and perspectives that they bring – will come from different backgrounds: those who can afford full fees, partial fees and in some cases no fees at all: • At the heart of this ambition lies the vision for Radley of our founder, William Sewell: that “every tenth boy should receive his education free”, thus supporting boys from much less-advantaged backgrounds • We also want to help deserving boys from families who once might have been able to afford a private education but simply no longer can – boys from what is frequently called the ‘squeezed middle’ of society

“Every tenth boy at Radley should receive his education free…” William Sewell

Below, we outline the basis for two new funds: one in memory of Anthony Hudson, a much-loved Don, Tutor and Sub-Warden who very sadly died in 2015; the other in honour of Hamish Aird, a much-loved Don, Tutor and Sub-Warden who, although retired after fifty years’ service at the College, is very much still alive! Both these characters knew each other well: Hamish Aird was Sub-Tutor to Anthony Hudson in the early ‘70s, and both then served as Tutors, in E and F Socials respectively. These new funds will be promoted more widely in the months soon to come.

The Hamish Aird Foundation Award Few characters will have had such a significant impact upon the life of Radley – and of a great many Radleians – as HHA. He is one of the very few Radley dons, past or present, who continues to be known universally simply by his first name – ‘Hamish’. Within the OR community, he is regarded with a combination of affection, admiration and gratitude. As one fellow Don recently put it: “There’s hardly a soul in the Radley world who doesn’t love Hamish”. Hamish retired last summer, after fifty years’ service to the School, as a Classics Don, Sub-Tutor, Tutor, Sub-Warden and latterly a member of the Foundation Office team – and it has been keenly suggested by a number of ORs who have known him through these years that we should establish (through fundraising) an Award that will preserve Hamish’s name in the firmament of the College. Very much with Hamish's involvement, it has been decided that the award (the 'HAFA') would be: • A Means-tested bursary for boys entering the Shell year • For Immediate Use rather than Endowment: a slightly different focus from other bursary funds, given that HHA is still very much alive and well, and the idea of a lasting ‘in perpetuity’ legacy isn’t perhaps as relevant at this stage • Fundamentally broad-based in the sort of boys the Award seeks to help. We do not want to restrict ourselves – although as one person who knows Hamish very well has said, Hamish has always liked boys with a bit of ‘spark’ and individuality We are delighted already to have raised nearly £400,000, privately, from a core group of ORs who know Hamish and, in a few months will be launching our appeal for the HAFA more widely. Our goal will be to reach £1 million which would mean that we would be able to make one significant new award for a boy entering the Shell year every year.

The Anthony Hudson Scholarship Anthony Hudson, affectionately known as Huddy, died on 8th March 2015. As Dennis Silk wrote in The Radleian in 1988: “It is hard to contemplate Radley without Anthony Hudson. When a man has taught with distinction in a school for nearly a quarter of a century he begins to blend into the landscape: for us he was as much a part of our daily life as Clock Tower, Shop or the Radley Oak. Magician, after-dinner speaker, leg break bowler, prehensile dancer, preacher, teacher and sage: where there is so much accomplishment, such wide-ranging talents, the gap he leaves becomes a gaping void. Here was a real schoolmaster.” Over recent months, a number of leading and influential F Social ORs from around Huddy’s time have been involved in discussions about how we might shape and define an Award that bears Huddy’s name. It has been squarely in the context of our vision for Radley that seeks to create life-changing opportunities, through the provision of bursaries, for deserving and talented boys to benefit from a Radley education. The Anthony Hudson Scholarship (AHS) will seek to create just such wonderful opportunities, and we were thrilled and humbled that the concept earned the whole-hearted support of Liz, Huddy’s wife, before she too passed away very sadly last year. With our core group of F Social ORs, ‘Terms of Reference’ have been drafted for the award and agreed with the College. We will seek to give support to the sort of boys that we believe Huddy himself would wish to have at Radley. They will be boys from disadvantaged backgrounds; boys who, without the support of the AHS, really would not otherwise have the chance of coming to Radley. They will be boys who will foster the spirit of excellence at the College (‘Renaissance men’ as Huddy would regard them): boys with agile, enquiring minds; beyond their academic abilities, they will have a interest or talent for sport, music, drama, or another distinctive hobby; boys with the character, confidence and self-awareness that will enable them not only to thrive at Radley, but with the potential to make a real contribution to the life of the College and far beyond.

Our Future Ambitions and Goals

A PREFACE TO OUR DEVELOPMENT PLANS Andrew Ashton, the Bursar, writes: Scarcely can there have been a more important time in the College’s development history. We value and cherish the College’s heritage, but we also recognise the need to respond to future challenges, and to prepare boys for life beyond Radley in a rapidly changing world. So, too, is the College changing. Our Vision expresses this in three ways – People, Place and Purpose. Our Development plans should be seen in the context of Place, or, put another way, the environment in which we educate. Growth of School Readers will be aware of the College’s decision to grow by one Social. In building one new Social we are making a conscious decision that, while the school should grow, it should not become too large. We envisage a school of around 750. A school where year groups are not substantially larger than at present, and where the core building block of a Social remains unchanged – housing an average of less than 70 boys, or around 14 boys in a year group. Our decision to expand is thus grounded on valuing certain parameters that must not change materially. What are the benefits of growth? Educationally we see more flexibility and financially our structures become a little more efficient. We can continue to admit boys to Radley through the Radley List system, as we always have, but we can also accelerate other means of entry in order to widen our intake, for the benefit of all.

To be true to our core traditions, hand in hand with planning a new Social is the imperative to expand Chapel and to protect that which we hold dearest – the tradition of whole school Chapel. Thus a new Social, and a sensitively designed expansion to Chapel, are at the heart of our development plans. Campus Design From the outset, Sewell painted a vision of aesthetic qualities and beautiful surroundings, and many great architects from Sir Thomas Jackson onwards have left their footprint on Radley. Good campus design is so much more than about the building, but about the way it sits in relation to other buildings. This does not happen by chance – but through careful planning, engagement and delivery. If successful, then we will have respected our founders’ vision and education will benefit – for the spaces we create outside the classroom, such as areas for reflection and contemplation, for sport, leisure and rest, or for interaction and debate, all aid the learning inside. Thus, we share, in the pages that follow, illustrations of our plans, including for an extended Chapel, a new Social, and a wholly refurbished and extended Science building. Two hallmarks of our projects are the need to deliver quality and collaborative engagement – each project having working party input from many representatives (including Radley boys – who can be those best able to judge whether we are doing things right, and who often bring the most conservative voices to proposals for change!). We are delighted that two recent projects, Clock Tower Court and the Rowing Tank, won prestigious national awards, but the real judges of lasting success will be the Radley boys who in years to come will benefit from our campus as it evolves.

The Land Sale At a time of great change has also come a great opportunity. Our predecessors were wise in buying land around the College to protect it for the future. Indeed much of the land around the campus was purchased in the 1930s following a fundraising appeal. Most of this land forms part of Peach Croft Farm, which is leased to the Homewood family, with whom the College has very good relations. With pressure for new housing, the Vale of White Horse District Council published a Local Plan that allocated a number of strategic sites for development. This phase of the Local Plan has now been adopted, and the College has an interest in two of the sites – one adjacent to Abingdon and one in Radley. With the publication of the Local Plan it immediately became clear that there was a transformational opportunity for the College – and also a responsibility on it – both to develop sympathetically with respect to the College’s campus setting, and with respect to the community that the College and its staff live within.

The planning process, and preparing for responsible development, both take time. However, we envisage the possibility of financial gains in excess of £40m for the College, realisable over the next two to eight years – and this will represent a substantial stride towards the delivery of our endowment target. From the outset, Council was clear that the income from funds generated in this way should first be applied towards our bursary funding targets. As such the plans for campus development will be funded, not by land sales, but through judicious debt and cash flow management, so every penny of land sale proceeds goes towards our endowment. Thus long-term investment in land by our predecessors will be retained as long term endowment to support the College. But what of the majority of land that remains? We remain committed to the preservation of our campus setting. We will continue to work with the Homewoods and our advisors to ensure that land management remains part of our strategic armoury.

Development plans

The new social

David Anderson, the Estates Bursar, has been at Radley since 2008, and has overseen the development of all the major building and development projects since then. He writes: Architectural plans are now being drawn up for the new Radley Social – the 11th in the College – which should open its doors to boys in September 2020. If planning permission is granted, L Social will be located to the south of Mansion and Pups’ Field, incorporating the old Warden’s House (the Warden having moved in 2014 to Park End, a house acquired by the College on the Kennington Road, close to J and K Socials) and will be home to 70 boys. The College’s Estates team has spent the past ten years building and completing a programme of refurbishing Socials – with J and K having opened in 2008, and A and B most recently benefitting from

significant overhaul and enhancement. This latter process has been refined during each project and we now have a very clear idea of what works best and what doesn’t in providing high-quality boarding accommodation. Above all, the Social needs to feel like home – and alongside this we need to consider the practicalities of keeping it safe, clean and comfortable. Advances in technology have massively changed the way boys congregate and live, and this – along with the need to bring boys together and facilitate their close interaction with each other – helps to determine the layout of the Social. Inside the new Social, contemporary and traditional qualities will be blended: • The ground floor social area – where Social Prayers and other gatherings will be held – will be open-plan and multi-functional giving boys the ideal space and opportunity to mix in a relaxed and informal environment

• The Cocoa Room and Social Library will be incorporated into this large ground floor area • Shells will be accommodated – as in all the other Socials – within the Shell dorm, with each boy having his own semi-private and personal cubicle • The boys in all the other year-groups will have their own private rooms, many looking directly out over Pups Field and College Pond Externally, high quality materials including terracotta detailing will echo the historic centre of the college. The building will fit seamlessly into the Radley landscape – having its own unique character whilst sitting comfortably and confidently in the established campus.

The Development Plans

THE PLANS for Chapel

Chapel lies squarely at the heart both of Radley and of life at Radley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it was clear to us all that, with the expansion of the College by an extra Social came the imperative to enable the entire College community still to gather every day for worship in Chapel. Inside, we tell you of our approach to the architectural challenge, of the considerations borne closely in mind, and of the emerging plans themselvesâ&#x20AC;Ś

Artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impression of the interior of the enlarged Chapel

the established order in that the Chapel and Chaplains are employed to serve each and every person within our community. Within our daily gatherings we welcome all – Christians, people with doubts and boys of other faiths – the community of the Chapel is central to the experience of the whole life of the boy and don alike and all are welcome.

INTRODUCTION BY THE CHAPLAIN The first time I walked into the Chapel at St Peter’s College, Radley I fell in love with the place. That may now be many years ago but there is something still very special about gathering each evening in Chapel for Evensong and sharing the Eucharist on a Sunday. The boys, of course, sing beautifully but there is something else – something that is deeply warm within the stonework – it is the many years of worship and prayer that infuses the whole building. The founding principles of the Oxford Movement and the beauty of worship capture the imagination and give space for the boys and staff to sit together in a tranquil setting and reflect on the struggles and joys of the day past. The beauty of the Anglican way is that it is all embracing and welcoming. Within our national life Her Majesty the Queen is the Head of the Church of England and our Bishops serve within our national parliament. The established Church serves every person who lives within the parochial system of England. In the same way Radley reflects

THE PERSPECTIVE OF A MEMBER OF THE CHOIR (Alexander Knipe, Remove, B Social) I think that for everyone at the College, Chapel is a very special and significant place that holds great importance in daily life at the school. It symbolises unity through the coming together of the whole school there every day; it symbolises tranquility as it is a place of reflection where we can come and be quiet and still in what is otherwise a very busy environment, and it symbolises work as it is where the choir come to rehearse or where I go to practise the organ. I believe that if one place can represent these three things at once, it shows how significant a building can be to the lives of those involved. I enjoy returning to chapel every day almost purely for reflecting and resting after a busy day and also to enjoy singing in the choir where I feel comfortable. The broad variety of music we sing each week is an exciting way to make the most of this extraordinary place. The rich harmonies of the choir are an enjoyable way to make the most of the acoustics of the chapel’s design. The ability to regularly perform in concerts and services in the building is a true gift. This gift also gave rise to the choristership scheme, something I am proud to have been part of until just before I arrived at Radley. I think that we must prioritise the maintenance of Chapel as a working heart for services and concerts, its architectural beauty and its acoustic splendour which give pleasure to those who visit on so many occasions.

As you might imagine, I approach any changes to the life of Chapel from a conservative perspective believing very much in evolution rather than revolution. When the Warden spoke to me personally about the possibility of expanding the school and increasing the number of boys who attend Radley, my first reaction was to make the case for whole school Chapel. My passion for whole school Chapel is born of the founding principles of the Oxford Movement in that community is more important than the individual – not least when that community gathers around the Lord’s Table at the Eucharist. For me a boy is a Radleian first and last and that is best expressed by the whole meeting in Chapel. As a member of the working group that was established to look at the possibilities of increasing the size of Chapel I was always very keen to select a design that was deeply sensitive to the traditions, religious principles and the needs of the boys today and into the future. I am delighted with the proposed design of the College Chapel and I give it my full support. With God’s Blessings. The Revd Dr David Wilson CF (Chaplain, Radley College)

CURRENT

THE DESIGN PROCESS The process involved in considering how Chapel might be expanded to accommodate comfortably an enlarged College community (indeed to address the shortage of space even for the current number of boys and Dons) has been thorough. A working party, involving members of Council, members of Common Room and other College staff, along with boys too, has led the deliberations. Advice has been sought from architectural and ecclesiastical experts – and important stakeholders (including the Diocese, Historic England, Conservation and Local Planning officers) have been consulted throughout. We shortlisted four highly-regarded architectural practices to develop designs and were delighted, ultimately, to choose the work of Purcell. Their proposal, principally through the creation of a Sanctuary and the enlargement of the two bays north and south of the nave towards the East end, provides an elegant and sensitive way of retaining the character and aesthetics of the Chapel that so many know and love.

THE ARCHITECT’S APPROACH Chris Cotton, Partner at Purcell, writes: Designing an extension to Sir Thomas Jackson's Grade II* listed Chapel at Radley College requires ingenuity in no small measure. The starting position was to establish an understanding of the character and traditions of Radley and its Chapel, the need for change and the likely heritage constraints. This has enabled us to devise an architectural solution that respects and provides continuity. The proposed design increases the Chapel’s seating capacity by, firstly, extending outwards with four new side bays between the existing

structural piers of the north and south walls. This, in turn, enables new stall seating to extend fully towards the eastern wall of the Chapel. A new eastern Sanctuary is proposed; this shall accommodate the Altar, Reredos and other Sanctuary furnishings. The eastern extension also provides space for choral and orchestral performances, which shall be enhanced through the rebuilding and remodelling of the Organ. The walls for the Sanctuary continue the existing use of brick and hand crafted stone, a geometric timber roof develops the Radley tradition of finely crafted timber work. Natural lighting is through a filtered roof light and tall lancet windows containing stained glass. A new geometric decorative marble and limestone floor, inspired by Sir Thomas Jackson's distinctive floors, is proposed. The scale and proportions of the exterior are intended to respond sensitively to the context and character of the existing building. The materials will comprise handmade brick, stone dressings and c opper roofing. The eastern extension containing the Sanctuary is designed to be a more prominent feature within its environment, whilst the four side extensions are understated, positioned between the buttresses and beneath the windows. We hope that Sir Thomas Jackson would consider the proposals as a worthy addition to his wonderful Chapel.

Inspiring future R adley scientists

OUR VISION FOR SCIENCE AT RADLEY Rob King, Head of Science and Chemistry We believe that Education and Examination are very different concepts: the latter – so often the benchmark of success – is merely the end of a journey of scientific discovery. During that journey, we want to expand boys’ imagination, inspire their minds both within and beyond the curriculum, and spark their creativity. Our vision for the Science faculty at Radley is to combine our superb teaching with more space for

experimentation, a lighter and more positive space in which to share ideas, opportunities to teach and learn beyond the curriculum, and a facility that will allow us to reach out and offer opportunity to the wider community too. At a time when universities and employers are crying out for more qualified scientists, schools like Radley can play a vital role. We want to inspire and produce the top scientists of the future and this new Science Faculty building will be so crucial in helping us to achieve that.

Radley is planning to transform its ageing Science block into a striking and inspiring environment for boys studying Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Science plays an increasingly important and popular part in the academic curriculum at Radley. Since the current Science building was last refurbished more than thirty years ago, growing numbers of boys have chosen to study Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Their levels of attainment have improved markedly too: In this Summer’s A-levels, nearly 90% of A-level results were at A*, A and B grade. This is matched by an increase of nearly 30% since 2010 in the number of boys choosing to study Science-related courses at university. As interest and attainment in Science subjects increases at Radley, we urgently need to make improvements to the Faculty building itself. Although over the years minor alterations and extensions have been made to the original 1930s classrooms and labs to keep pace with changing demands, the time has come for a significant re-think, bringing the scientific teaching facilities up to date, and ready for the future.

Floor plan for the first floor, incorporating the new Science Lecture Theatre Our ambition is to create one of the finest scientific learning environments in the country. We will do so in three ways: • Expansion: the creation of two new laboratories (one each for Physics and Chemistry), a new lecture theatre which can accommodate a whole year-group of boys, and better spaces for boys to meet, work and share ideas • Refurbishment: an overhaul and upgrading of all existing laboratories and lecture theatres • Enhancement: a much-needed and substantial face-lift to the 80 year‑old building, external and internal – and the creation of an observatory, providing stunning new learning opportunities for boys, within and around the curriculum

An artist’s impression of the new Science building showing, prominently, the new Lecture Theatre

David Welbourne of GBS Architects has been commissioned to carry out the work – the latest in a series of projects he has undertaken at Radley. His design for the exterior of the building features clean, sweeping lines and his trademark curve. An atrium and large windows will allow much more light into the building. David Anderson, our Estates Bursar comments: “To make buildings look and feel well-ordered and uncomplicated is actually a complex process. It involves a great deal of consultation with teaching departments, and many meetings with engineers and architects pushing and pulling ‘form vs function’, with people who will be using the building as the final arbiter. I believe we are designing a building which will be exemplary.”

The Development Plans

THE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING CENTRE Towards the end of 2017, the College will be delighted to open a high-quality new Strength and Conditioning Centre, located alongside the recently opened indoor Rowing Tank. Radley has not benefitted from – nor has been able to compete with – the sort of indoor training and conditioning opportunities available to pupils at other leading schools. Our facilities have been restricted to the cramped conditions inside two wooden sheds housing ergometers used largely by elite rowers and rugby players. Now, with sporting participation and endeavour playing such an important part in the life of the College, this new Strength and Conditioning Centre will transform the opportunities we can give to boys of all abilities across the College. It will underpin the developing culture that ‘hard work pays dividends’ being promoted by an exceptional new Coaching staff, led by James Gaunt, the College’s Director of Sport appointed at the beginning of 2016/17.

The Centre will comprise three separate zones: 1. The Weights and Conditioning Room This space will contain free weights, a prowler lane, Watt bikes and flat screens for video analysis and monitoring of various physiological performance indicators. 2. Ergometer Room This will house approximately 32 top-quality Concept 2 rowing machines, allowing multiple squads to train simultaneously, alongside and against each other. 3. Outdoor training area An area dedicated to a diverse range of disciplines, including ‘strong man’ exercises and other important training facilities for boys of all abilities.

THE NEW KENNELS AND COUNTRYSIDE CENTRE Beagling continues to play an integral and important part in Radley life, as it has for over 75 years – and in late Spring 2018 a new Countryside Centre will open immediately to the west of the Golf Course. The new facility will comprise high-quality kennels for the hounds – providing improved accommodation for them and for the boys to learn how to look after their welfare – as well as six paddocks for the College’s sheep and pigs. The Centre has been conceived around the design of a traditional farmstead, with a central courtyard and a house for the Countryside Officer, Simon Timbrell. It will also lie close to College Pond, which will soon benefit from the addition of aeration equipment and re-stocking with rainbow trout; jetties will be added to enable boys to fish.

SUPPORTING THE R ADLEY FOUNDATION In the pages that follow, you will read more of the support and extraordinary generosity that the Radley Foundation has benefitted from in recent years. We are indebted to all those members of our community who – from all constituencies and vintages, and at every level – have so far helped us to create the educational opportunities that we have been able to. Beginning overleaf, we are pleased to list the names of all our donors (subject to their permission) who have made donations to the

Foundation since 2007; on pages 40-41 we describe the importance of Legacy-Giving, a means of contributing favoured by a growing number of donors; finally, on page 42, we outline how you can help us and tell you of the Appeal to be launched in the coming months. The support we receive comes in many forms – and, by way of introduction, we are pleased to re-print below photographs (which originally appeared in Lusimus earlier this year) taken at two events held during 2016/17 in aid of the Armed Forces Fund:

The Go-Between: a Special Performance On 27th September 2016, a special performance of The Go-Between, starring Michael Crawford (pictured alongside), took place at the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, in aid of the Armed Forces Fund. The producers agreed, very kindly, to donate a significant percentage of the ticket price to the AFF. We are very grateful to our friends and partners at St Mary’s Calne for their work in the organisation of the event.

Inspiring Generations: Art at Radley Past and Present Acclaimed Old Radleian artists Sean Henry, Hamish Mackie, Pete Hawkins, Charlie Langton, Arthur Laidlaw and Harry Parker exhibited alongside works from every single boy in the 2016/17 Shell year-group at the D Contemporary Gallery in December 2016. The Private View was in support of the Armed Forces Fund, and we are immensely grateful to Peter O’Kane and the D Group for their very kind sponsorship of the event.

Supporting the Radley Foundation

THANKING OUR SUPPORTERS The Trustees of the Radley Foundation, the members of Council, the Warden and all those in the Foundation team would like to offer their sincere thanks to all those who have supported our fundraising efforts since the Foundation was established in 2000. In this first Foundation Report since 2007, we wanted to acknowledge the kindness and support of every member of the Radley community who has given in the last ten years, at whatever level they may have been able to contribute. In the list of names below: Donors names appear within the following groups: Old Radleians (listed by year of matriculation at the College); Parents (current and former); Radley Council, Trustees, Honorary Members, members of Common Room and Staff; other Friends of Radley College. Some donors’ names will appear more than once where they are constituents of more than one group. We have been careful to omit the names of all those donors who, at some point, have indicated their wish to remain anonymous. Please advise us if, as an anonymous donor, you would like instead to be included in future donor lists – or, as someone whose name does appear, you would like to be removed from future lists. We will be very happy to comply with your wishes. We have deliberately avoided giving any indication of the level of individuals’ gifts to the Foundation. We are frequently reminded that it is the accumulation of gifts of all sizes that enables us to fund specific initiatives and we are grateful for every donation that we receive. *Deceased

IN CLOSING Our new Master in Charge of Rowing reflects on 2016/17 – a year when the new indoor Rowing Tank and new boats, kindly donated by one Old Radleian, have made a significant difference: It has been a very busy and successful year for our crews, across all of our year groups. Our J15 1st VIII, in particular, enjoyed a stellar season, with wins at Wallingford Regatta. Another win at Bedford Regatta, and then an excellent silver medal at National Schools’ quickly following this. Not to be outdone, our J14 1st octuple delivered an outstanding silver medal at National Schools’ in one of the tightest races of the whole regatta. Both of these crews have recently benefitted from generously donated Filippi boats, putting us in the extremely fortunate position of one of the best-equipped schools at the event. Throughout the season, we had some excellent performances from the boys across all age groups, from 1st boats, to 5th boats, which is something we want to develop even further in the coming seasons. Our fifty-strong Shell year group were a great example of this, racing at many local regattas, such as Blenheim Palace, Marlow and Reading. Henley Royal Regatta, as it always does, provided much excitement for the 1st VIII and their supporters. The crew, which had been steadily building through the season, produced some outstanding racing during the course of the week’s competition, knocking out two American school crews and St Edward's to make it to the semi-finals on the Saturday. This was where the crew produced their best performance of the season in coming from a length down to beat an extremely talented, much fancied and well-drilled Shiplake College crew. This win put the crew into the Henley final against Scotch

College, Australia. The Scotch crew were an extremely classy outfit, having already knocked out Eton and St Paul's in earlier rounds, and proved too strong for our Radley crew in the final, winning by a margin of a length and two thirds. Regardless of the outcome of the final race, this was an outstanding achievement by the crew. Once Henley had finished, the boat club was extremely proud to have some international representation. Theo Metcalf and Ned Rae-Smith raced themselves into the GB J16 eight for the annual Great Britain vs France Junior 16 match, and raced excellently to record a win over the French, and help the GB team to an overall match win. James Innes-Ker, Josh Bowesman- Jones and Max Dunlap won seats in the Coupe de la Jeunesse team for Great Britain in the men’s eight and coxed four. In total, the crews won three gold medals and a bronze. Lastly, Archie McChesney represented Great Britain at the Junior World Championships, in Trakai, Lithuania, in the coxed four. The crew finished in eight position, after a large tussle with Croatia in their B Final saw them pipped on the line. This marked the end of a long and productive season for Radley, and huge congratulations to all of the boys named above on representing their country this summer. The Boat Club is looking in good health, with 127 boys rowing at the end of Summer Term, and I will be looking to continue to increase these numbers as we move forward into the 2017/18 season. I firmly believe that if the club can focus on laying strong foundations, we will be in a better position to challenge consistently for the top honours at National Schools’ across the year groups, and at the Henley Royal Regatta a little further down the line.

Legacy giving

The Benefits of Legacy Giving Every Radleian is the beneficiary of the generations that have gone before – and every generation has inherited opportunities that are the envy of their predecessors.

• Leave something permanent behind you

So much of the education and opportunity that Radley can currently offer its boys is due to the generosity of those who, in all sorts of ways, have left a legacy to the College.

• Save Inheritance Tax

Making a bequest to the Radley Foundation in your Will is one such means and in the last ten years alone Trustees have been very grateful to receive over £2 million in legacy gifts. It can provide a very appropriate and effective way to:

Introducing the Vyvyan Hope Society We understand that many people prefer the business of writing a Will to remain a private matter. Of course, we respect this and guarantee your anonymity. On the other hand, the receipt of legacies is always tinged with sadness but slightly less so if we have had a chance to say thank you during your lifetime. For this purpose, the Vyvyan Hope Society exists. The Society’s President, John Bridcut, writes: I never realised it at the time, but while I was at Radley in the mid 1960s the school was skating on such thin financial ice that it nearly went under. Perhaps the annual importation of dozens of plants in full bloom to brighten the otherwise empty flower-beds a few days before Gaudy and bamboozle the parents was a sign that below the surface bravado the cupboard was bare. Perhaps the school would have gone up rather than under if the prank in the chemistry labs by one of my contemporaries had not been miraculously defused – after connecting the high-pressure water jets to the gas taps, he had turned the water on full blast just before the labs were locked for the weekend… Today Radley is on a much safer and sounder footing. Its future looks secure, thanks to shrewd and diligent husbandry by a succession of Bursars. The school, as educational and social expectations continue to rise, keeps achieving levels of excellence regarded as “outstanding” by official inspectors. Yet at the same time Radley is trying to broaden its intake and outlook by expanding its provision of scholarships and bursaries – and, in today’s highly volatile political climate, we never know what is round the next corner.

• Give something back to the College • Do more than you might have been able to do in your lifetime The specific wishes of our donors are of the utmost importance to Radley, especially in the case of bequests. The Foundation Director would be very happy to talk to you, in confidence, about whether there are any particular areas of the College’s work that you would like such a gift to be used for and how the College might acknowledge your generosity.

That is why I am writing to urge you, if you have not already done so, to consider making a bequest to Radley in your Will. It might be a stated sum of money, or it might be a percentage of your estate. But, if you look back on your time at Radley with gratitude (and even, perhaps, affection), and would like to have a stake in guaranteeing its future and extending its reach, please give the idea some thought. In my own case, I felt it was an appropriate and relatively painless way to hand on to future generations a small part of what Radley gave me. Those who pledge legacies to Radley qualify for automatic membership of the Vyvyan Hope Society, named after one of the school’s most dedicated – and acerbic – dons, which meets every two years. Priest, social tutor, maths teacher, rowing coach and supervisor of Shop in the inter-war years, Hope also ran the Radleian Society and instigated the Land Fund Appeal of the 1930s, which secured Radley’s Arcadian surroundings. A Radley education is not an end in itself, but a foundation for the future. I remember vividly the moment in Wyndham Milligan’s last school assembly, as he retired as Warden in 1968, when he said: “If I meet any of you in years to come, and you say to me ‘my schooldays were the happiest days of my life’, I will know that I failed”. At the tender age of sixteen, the unexpected final words of that sentence brought me up short. Yet the fact that they have stayed with me for almost fifty years shows how profound and wise they were. Warden Milligan didn’t want Radleians to wallow in nostalgia, but to use their legacy from Radley to help craft for themselves a happy, worthwhile and satisfying life. Part of that satisfaction can result from ensuring that, after we have gone, new generations will have the opportunity in their turn to build their lives on a Radley foundation – and that Radley itself can thereby enhance and invigorate the wider community. Those are ambitions worth fighting for, and paying for.

When my father (Edward Nugee, G/H 1942-47) died just over two years ago, I was interested to see as his executor that he had left a legacy to the Radley Foundation. He did not talk much about legacies – people don’t, on the whole – and I wasn’t actually aware before I opened his Will that he had done so. And it set me thinking about why he had done so, and what the College meant to him, and indeed what it means to me. Most people reading this report will have at least one connection with the College, most commonly that we were at one point in our past in statu pupillari. A good number will have stayed in touch with the College for a few years as young

ORs. Some of us may then later in our lives have been parents of Radleians. A few will have become Council members, or contributed in other ways. It is in fact a feature of the school that surprisingly few boys want nothing at all to do with it ever again, the moment they leave at the end of their final term. But in later life the opportunities to stay in touch diminish. And perhaps this was one of the reasons behind my father’s bequest – he did not want to lose all touch with Radley, he clearly remembered it fondly, and equally, he felt that what it stood for was still of value, nearly 70 years after he himself had left, and its work and ethos was still worthy of support. And so I paid his legacy, and thought about why my father had left it… and revisited my own Will to consider what my response should be. John Nugée

Legacy Giving

HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT US To realise our bold vision for the future of Radley, we seek the engagement of the Radley community – and will be thrilled and very grateful to benefit from your support and contribution. In the coming months, we will be launching our 2017/18 Appeal. We will be telling you how, at every level, members of our community can contribute to our efforts. We will be announcing specific initiatives and projects to inspire your involvement. We will be explaining how charitable tax relief can work very effectively in increasing the value of your gift to the Radley Foundation and reduce its ‘cost’ to you. And we will be stressing how your donation, however large or more modest it may be, will help to make a tangible difference to the future of Radley and the opportunities we are able to create for future boys. We will be delighted too to tell you more about the Matched Funding Challenge. In support of this initiative, a number of our leading donors on Council and the Board of Trustees have already promised to match each £ donated to the Foundation, on a £ per £ basis – in effect doubling the value of your donation. Our Matched Funding Challenge Fund already stands at over £500,000 and we expect to build this further. There are many ways in which you can help: Regular gifts: these can be made by standing order on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis One-off gifts: you can make a secure one-off donation by credit or debit card, online or by post, or with a cheque to The Radley Foundation Legacy-Giving (see page 40): we would be delighted to talk privately to you about how your bequest could benefit the College Overseas Giving: Donors in the US and Hong Kong can now make tax-efficient gifts through the British Schools and Universities Foundation (US) and the newly-launched Radleian Society (Hong Kong). Please contact us for further information. We will soon be launching a similar vehicle for members of the Radley community in Canada Matched Funding Challenge: if you would like to help by adding to our Matched Funding Challenge pot, we would be delighted to hear from you

Corporate Matched Giving: many companies help charities through a matched giving scheme.
