Radley College, formally St Peter's College, Radley or the College of St. Peter at Radley, is a public school (independent boarding school) for boys near the village of Radley, in Oxfordshire, in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1847. The school covers 800 acres (320 hectares) including playing fields, a golf course, a lake, and farmland. Before the counties of England were re-organised, the school was in Berkshire.
Radley is one of four public schools which have retained the boys-only, boarding-only tradition, the others being Sherborne, Harrow, and Eton. Formerly this group included Winchester, although it is currently undergoing a transition to co-ed status. Of the seven public schools addressed by the Public Schools Act 1868 four have since become co-educational: Rugby (1976), Charterhouse (1971), Westminster (1973), and Shrewsbury (2014). For the academic year 2022/23, Radley charged boarders up to £14,850 per term, or £44,550 per annum. It is a member of the Rugby Group.
In May 2025, Radley College announced one of the largest mergers in the independent charitable schools industry with Prep Schools Trust (PST). The merger deed, which will take effect formally in September 2025, will see funds, staff and ownership of the prep schools within PST to be transferred to the Charity of St Peter's College, Radley.
