Word From The Head

From Alastair Thomas, Headmaster


Davenies is a thriving IAPS day school for boys aged 4-13. Our ethos and philosophy enable the boys to make the most of their preparatory years, supported by high quality pastoral care, a broad and stimulating curriculum and numerous extra-curricular opportunities.

Davenies has its own distinct character and from their earliest years children are encouraged to relish the learning experience.

We are committed to an education both in and out of the classroom, thereby enabling the academic, artistic, musical, creative and physical potential of each child to flourish. This school is a warm, caring and happy one, where self-esteem is nurtured and grown; we believe that by fostering a wide range of interests and passions we provide the boys with every opportunity to develop in confidence. Our high quality teachers have an excellent track record of preparing children for life at the country’s leading senior schools and beyond.

Enterprises such as the unique Davenies Award Scheme and the permeation of technology in our teaching and learning ensure we offer a truly independent educational experience.

At Davenies, our outstanding facilities support us in providing a positive learning experience with our own language of learning that nurtures each boy’s understanding of how he learns. Davenies’ boys are polite and friendly with their own individual characters, personalities, passions and interests.

We also believe in being judged on our actions rather than just our words and as our website can only give you a flavour of life at Davenies, I would encourage you to come and visit us, meet the boys and staff and see us close up – you will be warmly welcomed.

    The broad curriculum and wide-ranging co-curricular and extra-curricular programmes, encourage the development of pupils’ self-knowledge, self-esteem and confidence.

    Not only going from strength to strength but quietly moving from cosy local prep to major contender, especially if you want to keep all senior school options open. One for the list.

    I’m not sure how they manage it, but from day 1 at Davenies, both my boys have been happy to go to school. Mind you, with such an exciting curriculum and so much on offer, with the wide range of school clubs and activities, what’s not to like?! The teachers really do know the children and how to...

    I have realised the benefit of the approach the school has for teaching boys - they often move outside during lessons for example, or use different materials around the room, which suits boys methods of learning. The opportunity to play sport everyday is vital to my boys, helping them concentrate...

    Year 7&8 is structured well with streaming and small class sizes, so academically it is challenging and the school has good contacts with senior schools. Year 8’s have leadership roles which helps them grow, amongst other things, they take on a lot of responsibility for the younger boys - this...

    My boys gain so much from the extra curricular activities - Drama is especially strong here and the boys are on the stage a lot. This, alongside the music and sport, has helped to build up their confidence immensely. These extra activities are so important for them as they transfer confidence to...
