A fulfilling, adventurous and inspiring education

Academic success is at the heart of a Dauntsey's education, but the ethos is about much more than exam grades.  It’s about developing the skills and characteristics, such as resilience, flexibility and a willingness to have a go.

We aim to be a school where everyone can be themselves, where friendship and kindness really matter and where pupils make the most of their talents and abilities.
