At the centre of a Duncombe education is the happiness and wellbeing of our children, empowering them with agency and a positive outlook on life.
Through exceptional pastoral care, our vision is for every child to develop the courage to take on new opportunities, the confidence to overcome challenges, and the integrity to become future global citizens who make their mark in the world and thrive.
Our passionate teachers are more than just educators – they are innovators who bring learning to life, from cross-curricular science activities to orchestrating international ICT projects with Cognita pen pals across the globe.
In addition, our teachers monitor your child's academic progress and emotional wellbeing throughout their time at the school, they establish a trusting relationship with your child, opening a door for any worries or concerns.
At Duncombe, we prioritise pastoral care and have developed a bespoke wellbeing charter to ensure that every child feels valued and included in our Team Duncombe community.
Our wellbeing team, consisting of children and teachers, organises a range of activities every term that are enjoyed by all. These activities include lunchtime discos, buddy reading sessions, and the much-anticipated Fun Time Friday, where children participate in a carousel of wellbeing activities.
At Duncombe, all children, parents, and staff adhere to Duncombe’s Golden Rules, based on sound moral values. These rules are displayed around the school and permeate every aspect of school life, promoting fairness and equality.
They provide a clear picture of good, respectful behaviour and help keep every member of our Team Duncombe happy and safe.
At Duncombe, we believe that every child deserves to feel at home in their school environment. Our nurturing atmosphere, dedicated staff, and welcoming community help create a sense of warmth and friendship that makes Duncombe feel like a second family.
We're proud to be part of Team Duncombe, it’s what makes our school special.
