House System
The four houses are named after notable local people, and each student (excluding 6th form) is put into one of those four houses upon enrolment into the school in Year 7. Each house is represented by a different colour and students wear a navy blue tie with coloured stripes indicating the house they belong to. The houses earn house points for pupils efforts in sports matches, merit collection, attendance, punctuality and other extra-curricular competitions.
School Productions
In 2011 the Radcliffe school presented their first school theatre production in 10 years, an adapted school's performance of the jukebox musical We Will Rock You (musical). It ran from 7 - 10 December 2011.
In 2012 Radcliffe, following the success of We Will Rock You, performed their second production of recent years, a stage adaptation of the 1976 film Bugsy Malone, with a double casting of the two lead female roles, Blousey Brown and Tallulah. It was performed for the public on 10th, 12, 13 and 14th December 2012. Since 2012, The Radcliffe School have also had two other very successful productions, Hairspray in 2013, and Grease in 2014.
