Radley is one of only four public schools to have retained the boys-only, boarding-only tradition, the others being Sherborne , Harrow and Eton. Formerly this group included Winchester, although the latter school is currently undergoing a transition to co-ed status.[5] 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.[6] It is a member of the Rugby Group.
