Dunraven School’s results are strong, remaining well above national averages and representing positive ‘value-added’. Recognition of our marked progress has been significant and our journey as a school is important to us. For example: 

• in February 2011, we were designated as both a National Support School and a Leading-Edge School;
• in August 2011, we converted to Academy status;
• in 2012 we began our development as an All-Through School with children starting in Reception in September 2013;
• in summer 2013 our £20 million BSF programme was completed;
• in October 2014 we were judged as outstanding in all areas, including both Early Years and the Sixth Form, by Ofsted;
• in 2016, we were designated as a National Teaching School and an Academy Sponsor and the Dunraven Educational Trust was established;
• 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.

Joining us, you will share in the leadership and management of a staff who are hardworking, committed, positive in outlook and dedicated to the achievement of our students.
