Welcome

Starting school is a big step for your child. Dunraven aims to make the experience as comfortable and confidence building as possible. We aim to give you and your child a real feel for the school and for you to get to know the staff quickly.

Children have had four years of learning experiences at home and at nursery before they start school. We aim to build on this by developing children’s creativity, sense of curiosity and pleasure in achievement.

Dunraven opened its primary phase in September 2013. The school was recently inspected in March 2023 and was judged good overall with outstanding features. The inspection report said ‘In early years, children follow routines sensibly and interact well with each other in a stimulating environment that is rich in resources’. The report also states that we have ‘an ambitious all-through curriculum that is coherently designed from Reception through to Sixth Form’. We strongly believe that being part of an all-through school brings many benefits for you and your child and helps to build a strong Dunraven community.

I am extremely proud to lead a team that is committed to achieving high standards. We provide a stimulating, varied curriculum that all children will enjoy and learn from. We look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Ms M Christian, Head Teacher Dunraven Primary

We are delighted to have Dunraven Primary as part of our family of schools. The school’s aim is ‘Excellence for All’ and it has already done much of which it can be very proud.

As a parent, you want to be confident that your child will be known at school as well as you know them at home. Dunraven is a nurturing and friendly school which means that your child will be seen as the person they are rather than simply as one member of a class.

Remarkable things are happening at Dunraven. We look forward to sharing them with you.
