The Radcliffe School is a comprehensive school located in Wolverton, Milton Keynes, England.

The school offers General Certificates of Secondary Education (GCSEs), Business and Technology Education Council vocational qualifications (BTEC), Youth Awards and Entry Level Certificates as programmes of study for pupils. The Radcliffe School also operates a sixth form, with courses offered including A-Levels, BTECs and diplomas.

House system
The four houses are named after notable local people, and each student (including 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.

Inspections
In its September 2017 report, the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills rated the school as "requires improvement". Teaching, learning and pupils outcomes were all rated as "requires improvement". This assessment was unchanged from its November 2015 report.

The Radcliffe School - War Memorial
The Radcliffe School was built in 1956 as a Grammar School, before becoming a Comprehensive school in 1969. During its build, the west wing of the school was planned around a central courtyard, which contained laboratories, history and geography rooms and sixth form division rooms. In the centre of the courtyard, a biology pool was installed and at one end of the pool a memorial was built. This honours former pupils who were killed in the two world wars. The bronze plaques that list the former students were transferred from the hall of the old school and added to the memorial.
