Welcome to Duncombe. A private school in Hertfordshire. Building a firm foundation for your child.
As Hertford’s only co-educational independent Primary and Nursery School for ages 2-11, we are proud to have been educating children in and around our community for over 75 years. At Duncombe we believe the best education is a well-rounded one and encourage every child to realise their full potential.
Throughout 2020, Duncombe School provided certainty, consistency and structure at a time when all were hard to come by. Now, as we begin 2021 in lockdown, our Online Learning provisions will ensure that pupils receive continuous and uninterrupted education.
Our Admissions department also remains virtually open, ready to talk to you about your child’s educational future.
