Radford College has a strong sense of vision and an exceptionally caring environment.

The four core elements of Radford are:

1. An excellent academic program
2. Strong pastoral care
3. Exciting cocurricular opportunities
4. A vital Christian Ethos which is the spiritual and moral foundation of the College.

Radford encourages students to achieve their best by fostering positive self-esteem that regards personal achievement as worthy of effort. The college presents its policies and practices within a balanced liberal education. A liberal education equips children not only with the ability to learn but also with the spiritual, moral and aesthetic senses that will enable them to perceive or construct values in their lives.
