The School Day

Whether day or boarding, all Dauntsey's pupils begin their day with registration and a short meeting with their Housemaster or Housemistress which takes place in their House.  For Manor pupils, registration is in the Lower School Centre on arrival at the main school site.  Two long breaks are scheduled during the day giving pupils plenty of time for clubs, (over 70 to chose from) and prep, (which takes place in Houses), thus Lower School day pupils usually arrive home having taken part in a club and completed prep for the follwing day.
