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'.

New A Level students start course with Monologues

Our new A Level students have started the year with a bang. Endless enthusiasm, skill and dedication has kept us all focussed and feeling a bit more 'normal'. Well... apart from the fact that they couldn't invite in a live audience!   Each student chose their own monologue that they felt suited them and could demonstrate clear characterisation, vocal and...

I also want to congratulate them on their significant achieveme...

First and foremost, results days are about our students and their achievements. Days like today offer an opportunity for celebration, a moment for reflection and then - excitingly - the start of a brand new phase of life.  There are a great many reasons why this day will feel different to those we’ve had before but we want to say a proper ‘well done’ to ...
