Welcome to DUNRAVEN SCHOOL

We were very glad to be designated as a National Teaching School in 2016 as it recognises the effort that the school team puts in to making lessons enjoyable and effective for our young people. Equally, the visit of OFSTED in October 2014 which judged Dunraven as 'outstanding' in every category was an important public marker of our on-going journey to achieve 'Excellence for All'.

GCSE Results Day 2020

So much has happened in the run up to GCSE results day that it is possible to lose sight of who days like today are really about: our students. I want to say a proper well done to Year 11 for the incredible resilience, unshakeable optimism and the quite remarkable grace they have shown over the course of this year. I also want to congratulate them on their significant achieveme...
