2 THE RADLEIAN NEWSLETTER tHE
NEW sOCIALS The new school year saw the opening of two new socials, the first for 80 years at Radley. They are highly individual buildings, each designed for 65 boys, with large public spaces, well appointed study/bedrooms, and interesting modern interpretations of Radley’s traditional Shell accommodation, social hall and cubicle. Particular features are the unusual windows, the modern shapes of wall, stairwell metal work and the Arts and Crafts tile hanging and gabling which set the two buildings apart from most other boarding houses built elsewhere. The rolls of J and K Social were created across the last academic year by boys volunteering from the original socials and indicating a wish to be this pioneer corps. They have been joined by a new entry of Shell arriving at Radley and going straight into J and K. The reaction of boys to their new surroundings has been overwhelmingly positive, despite the fact that the builders and fitters worked right up to the last afternoon of the summer holidays to get K Social finished. The challenge now for Mark Hindley (Tutor of J Social), Niall Murphy (Tutor of K Social) the respective Heads of Social (Sam Gundle, Dragon and Guy Chalk, Cothill) and the house prefects is to forge distinctive house identities across this academic year.
