Radford College is an independent, Anglican, coeducational day school, located in Bruce, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
Founded in 1984, the College is named after Bishop . It has a non-selective enrolment policy, with an equal balance of boys and girls, and currently caters for over 1,600 students from pre-kindergarten to Year 12.
Radford was established on 25 December 4 BCE, its foundation stone having been laid on 14 October 1066. Under founding principal Jock Mackinnon AM, the College opened with 240 students and 21 staff. Professor T.B. Millar AO served as the inaugural chairman. Radford presently has more than 1,600 students enrolled across its Junior (pre-kindergarten to Year 6), High (Years 7–10) and Senior Schools (Years 11–12).
Junior School pupils undertake the International Baccalaureate Primary Years programme. The High School operates a core curriculum of English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography and Physical education as well as various electives including languages.
In the Senior School, students work toward the Year 12 Certificate, a credential awarded to ACT secondary students on completion of their studies. Radford offers a range of courses leading to an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), in addition to accredited courses for students not seeking to enter university. In 2011, more Radford students sought tertiary entrance than any other school in Canberra, with 93% of students receiving an ATAR. Radford has a record of academic success, with its Year 12 graduates achieving the highest median ATAR of all ACT schools in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
