We've reviewed this school • Unlock to access

A busy, energetic school where pupils are offered a stimulating syllabus and fun activities. The prep has changed to become much more in line with the St Dunstan’s College approach, particularly with the shared co-curricular syllabi and the emphasis on a broad and balanced curriculum. Children enjoy being part of a large, vibrant and, above all, active community, to the extent that parents report that their children are keen to continue their educational journey at St Dunstan's after year 6.

Why read our school review?
