Dauntsey's School

Dauntsey's is a leading co-educational boarding and day school for 11-18 year olds. Set in an estate of 150 acres of idyllic countryside, on the northern edge of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, we offer some 860 pupils challenge and inspiration both inside and outside the classroom.

Academic success is at the heart of all that we do, but our 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, which we all need to have a successful, happy life.

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 pupil's learning. This approach ensures that we are equipping pupils with the necessary skills and confidence to succeed in whatever the future holds for them.
