The Lower School

On entry to Dauntsey's at age 11, 12 or 13, pupils are assigned to one of the four co-educational houses in the Lower School. These are: The Manor for boarders, which is set in its own estate, or one of the three day Houses – Forbes, Rendell or Scott, which are located on the main School site.

All the lower school pupils come under the supervision of Mrs Sue Corke, Head of Lower School. The Lower School Centre is situated at the heart of the School and provides a day-time common room and meeting areas (separated into the different Houses) for all pupils in the Lower School.
