Dauntsey's School

Head Master John Davies says: 'Dauntsey's is a school that is focused on nurturing curiosity, building confidence, and preparing young people for a future full of possibility.'

'Surrounded by Wiltshire countryside, our pupils thrive in a setting that promotes not only excellence but also mental and emotional well-being. Here, learning stretches beyond textbooks, with our extensive programme of adventurous co-curricular and academic enrichment activities that foster creativity, collaboration, and connection with the wider world.'

At Dauntsey's, our ultimate priority is the happiness and fulfilment of everyone in our community. We want the pupils to do better here than they would anywhere else and, in our experience, when pupils are happy, success follows. 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.

Central to this ambition is our approach to adventure. Adventure at Dauntsey's is not simply an event but something that teaches invaluable life skills and changes attitudes and behaviour for the better. This spirit of adventure reaches into the classroom where inspirational teaching stretches and nurtures each individual pupil's learning.

We live in a fast-changing world and school must equip young adults with the resilience, intellectual curiosity and flexible thinking needed to thrive in life beyond the school gates, in the widest range of career paths.
