Head Teacher's Welcome

 

 

 

Our diverse community is at the heart of who we are. Through our Duncombe ASPIRE Values, we encourage every child to have high aspirations, achieve their full potential and develop a genuine enjoyment of learning. Inclusion sits at the heart of our school, and we believe every child has the right to feel valued, confident and successful, and to be well prepared for the world beyond Duncombe.

 

I am especially proud of the excellent outcomes our children achieve. Over the past three years, our Key Stage 2 SATs results have been above national averages, reflecting the ambition, hard work and commitment of our pupils, staff and families. These outcomes matter because they demonstrate what is possible when children are known well, supported carefully and encouraged to aim high.

 

We provide a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum that is stimulating, challenging and creative. Children’s learning is enriched through opportunities to work with specialists and professionals, alongside educational visits and experiences that help them develop a wider understanding of the world around them.

 

We are ambitious for every child and know that children thrive when school and home work closely together. We greatly value the relationships we have with our parents and families and the important contribution they make to school life. Our enthusiastic and dedicated staff team works hard to ensure that every child is supported, challenged and encouraged to achieve their very best.

 

Visitors are always warmly welcomed, and we would be delighted to show you around so that you can experience for yourself what makes Duncombe such a wonderful place to learn and grow.

 

We look forward to welcoming you.
