Dauntsey’s is a leading co-educational boarding and day school for 11-18 year olds, set in a 150 acre estate on the edge of the Vale of Pewsey near Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire.  We offer our pupils challenge and inspiration both inside and outside the classroom.

Headteacher

I believe that people, not buildings or facilities, are what make a good school great and I am proud to lead an exceptional team of teachers here at Dauntsey’s, who pass on their enthusiasm and love of their subject to pupils.

Our ultimate priority is the happiness and fulfillment of every person in our community. In our experience, if our pupils are happy, then success will follow.

Academic success is at the heart of all that we do, but our ethos is about much more than exam grades.  Our extensive adventure education programme encourages our pupils to develop important life skills, such as resilience, communication, creativity and teamwork.

The school’s uniquely lively and friendly atmosphere encourages pupils “to have a go”, try new things and so develop their self-confidence and self-belief.  Our school community thrives on a culture of kindness and mutual respect which leads to a real sense of belonging.

For more information please visit our website www.dauntseys.org which we think gives a real flavour of life at Dauntsey’s.
