Head's Welcome

I am extremely proud to be Headmistress of Duncombe School. Renowned for its ethos, friendliness and pupils' exemplary behaviour, Duncombe is also so much more. My committed staff aspire to excellence for every child in all areas of their lives.

Academically we build strong and secure foundations that support the exciting world of learning. Our high teacher to pupil ratio ensures we stretch the most able, support any who find academia difficult and that those in the middle also achieve their best. We are dedicated to enriching each child's education.

Our broad curriculum and extended day allow every child the opportunity to learn new skills, how to accept both victory and defeat with grace, and respect for themselves and others.

Our strong parent partnership encourages parents to be part of their children's education as they grow into independent learners, ready to move on to the senior school of their choice at the age of 11.

I look forward to welcoming you to Duncombe so that you can experience our vibrant and purposeful school and see for yourself how much Duncombe can offer your child. Please don't hesitate to contact us to arrange an appointment.
