DEVIZES
Dauntsey’s is a leading co-educational
boarding and day school for 11-18 year olds.
The school sits in an estate of one hundred
and fifty acres of idyllic countryside on the
northern edge of Salisbury Plain and offers
some 780 pupils challenge and inspiration
both inside and outside the classroom.
All Round Education
Academic excellence is at the heart of
all that we do at Dauntsey’s. However,
education is much more than grades on
a piece of paper. It’s about developing
the skills and characteristics, such as
resilience, flexibility and a willingness to
have a go, which we all need to have a
successful, happy life. That’s where our
enrichment and extra-curricular activities
have a crucial role to play. From drama,
dance, music, sport and a huge range of
clubs and societies, to our lecture series,
adventure programmes and volunteering
initiatives - there are opportunities to suit
everyone.
The Dauntsey’s Community
Community and collaboration underpin
many aspects of Dauntsey’s; it is a happy
place with a strong family atmosphere,
where friendship matters and where the
courteous informality between staff and
pupils is highly valued.
Our pupils, both boarding and day, come
from many different schools and arrive
at Dauntsey’s eager to make new friends.
Both communities are fully integrated and
many boarders make friends with local day
pupils. Boarding houses rapidly become
home-from-home and fellow boarders
become extended family. A range of
exciting weekend activities encourage
friendship and a sense of community.
“Dauntsey’s is a very friendly and open
school. The staff care about each and
every one of us. It really is like being in a
large family.” (Margaret Chung, Sixth Form
boarder)
