Dunraven School

A good example of a state funded school which gets it right. Expectations are high and results reflect that. At A levels, 32% A*-A grades with 85% A*-C. An array of academic subjects on offer as well as sports (from badminton to football, fencing, ice-skating, cricket and basketball), arts, drama and photography. Pupils are immaculate and very polite. Teachers engaging and welcoming – strict yet fair. Very good SEN provision, extra-curricular programmes and after school care. Most students opt for higher education with offers from the usual crème de la crème of universities.
