From Prep to Senior: Our All-Through Pathway with Radnor House & Kneller Hall School
At Radnor Prep, we’re proud to offer a smooth and supportive all-through pathway from Prep to Senior School.
In September 2025, 94% of our Year 6 pupils will progress to Year 7 —continuing their education in a familiar, nurturing environment. This follows a similarly strong transition in 2024, with 95% of our pupils progressing to Radnor House Senior School.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to share that planning approval has been granted for Kneller Hall School—the future home of Radnor House Senior School—opening in September 2027.

Transitioning with Confidence
Our pupils transition to the senior schools that best match their individual attainment and aptitude. We focus on preparing each child for the environment where they will thrive, with our experienced teachers guiding and supporting them every step of the way. While we hope many will continue with us into Radnor House & Kneller Hall School, we are equally committed to supporting families through the 11+ process.
Together we’re extraordinary
Radnor Prep is part of the Dukes Education family of schools and educators, brought together by a common purpose: to give children the foundations for an extraordinary life.
We create clusters of nurseries and schools in village locations to ensure that families can enjoy the option of an all-through education journey with Dukes Education within their local area.
Continuity and Confidence
As students prepare to transition from prep school to senior school at Year 7, our guaranteed entry policy offers a seamless progression within the Dukes family of senior schools, subject only to the availability of a place and a child’s ability to thrive in the ethos and curriculum, and without the need to sit traditional school entrance exams such as the 11+.
Guaranteed Placement, Tailored Support
Dukes Education supports each child’s journey to senior school, working with families to find the right school; one that matches their unique strengths and aspirations.
Our commitment to providing a guaranteed place at a Dukes Education senior school allows students to focus on their personal and academic development instead of spending precious time preparing for school entrance exams and the added pressure that entails.
For families applying to selective senior schools, our prep schools provide thorough guidance, tailored 11+ exam preparation and exceptional pastoral support to ensure that every student is ready to perform at their best.
This approach ensures a confident and smooth transition to senior school for all children, nurturing lifelong learners within the supportive framework of Dukes Education.
Early acceptance
If a family decides their child will not sit the 11+ entrance test, we are usually able to confirm acceptance to a Dukes senior school in Year 5. Early acceptance offers families peace of mind, allowing children to enjoy their final years at prep school and focus on a positive transition to senior school.
