Dunraven School

 Dunraven School is a mainstream, all-through, state academy with sixth form for girls and boys aged 4-18. It is located in Streatham, South London, and was judged "outstanding" by Ofsted at its last inspection in 2014.  

In 2016, Dunraven School was designated a National Teaching School, reflecting the efforts of its staff to make lessons enjoyable and effective. It is also a National Support School, in recognition of its work supporting other schools. Dunraven is proud to have helped develop nine Headteachers in the past decade and has enjoyed a number of high-profile visits, including from a Prime Minister and an Education Secretary.   

The school became an academy in 2011. 

In September 2013, Dunraven welcomed its first Reception children at its new Primary Phase. The Year 6 cohort started in September 2019 and all its year groups are now full.  More information on the Primary can be found here. 

In September 2018, our Multi Academy Trust was formally set up with the integration of Van Gogh Primary, followed by Goldfinch Primary school in January 2019.
