Dauntsey's school

Have kids at this school for almost a year and there are endless stories of bullying. The staff are okay at getting a handle on some of the bullying once it has started but they are no good at preventing it in the first case from what I can see. I am aware of a number of year 7 students who have had to endure physical and psychological bullying on a daily basis. In one case one set of parents were told by the head that the months and months of bullying that their son endured was a testiment to his ability to endure! the parents have now withdrawn their son from the school.

A few years ago when we were looking at secondary schools, our prep head said that
Dauntsey’s suits those with sharp elbows. Your experience seems to have taken that to a whole level!

Sad to hear this. Our daughter went for her final years, best decision ever made and she loved it.

Hi Mopsi,
I am thinking of sending my son to board at Dauntsey’s, can you shed light on how it is?
thanks
Sarah
