The school was awarded Leading Edge status and, in 2011, we were appointed as a National Support school in recognition of our effective partnership and support work with a range of primary and secondary schools. We hold school achievement awards, Sportsmark and Artsmark awards. We were awarded Advanced Healthy School Status in 2008 and gained an ‘International School’ Award in 2009. Aims The aim of Dunraven School is ‘excellence for all’ – high academic expectations, high standards of learning and teaching, and excellent facilities. “The principal and senior team embody the inclusive motto of ‘excellence for all’ in all aspects of their work” Ofsted 2009. Our students wear a smart uniform and represent the school with pride. They learn to be aware of and respect the needs, views and opinions of others. They learn to develop self-confidence and powers of judgement. Dunraven students “make very good personal progress…personal development and well-being is good, with some outstanding features” Ofsted. Academic standards Dunraven school’s success in GCSE examinations has increased year by year, much higher than the national average, based on challenging targets and high expectations. Results at all key stages are above national standards and our value added scores are strong. There are regular work reviews, progress checks, individual and school targets. Dunraven’s programme for gifted and talented students as well as our work with students who need additional support has been commended. “All students regardless of attainment or background do well” Ofsted 2009 Features of the school • a supportive primary-secondary transfer programme • access to ‘an outstanding curriculum’ (Ofsted 2009) • accelerated, accelerating and standard groups • a strong emphasis on english, mathematics, science (including separate sciences), technology, and modern foreign languages • the arts, humanities, drama, music, physical education and dance have a high profile • well developed information and communications technology provision • an ‘outstanding’ sixth form • a strong emphasis on homework 24 SECTION 2 / SCHOOLS
