About the Davenies Senior School

Many boys at Davenies School in Beaconsfield stay on at the school after the 11+ examinations to enjoy the exciting opportunities that the school provides for its senior pupils. The boys are given individual attention in small classes by subject specialist teachers and experience a unique and enriching programme before they move on to senior independent or local grammar schools at 13.

During Years 7 and 8, the boys go to Wales and France and take part in a challenging outdoor education course which promotes team building and leadership skills. They also enjoy skiing and adventure holidays, outward bound weekends and a wide variety of educational trips, as well as various sports tours; the 1st XI cricket team toured Antigua in July 2005.

The school's Senior Activity Scheme (SAS) promotes character development and boys go on SAS 'expeditions' such as paintballing, water skiing, go-karting, sailing and skiing. Boys also enjoy a spectacular variety of fifty 'after-school' activities each week, which range from jazz band to rock climbing, photography to snowboarding.

Davenies is known for its Leavers' Programme, the 'Davenies Challenge'. This superbly organised course, which takes place at the end of Year 8, includes self-defence demonstrations, street dance instruction, film editing, drama workshops, theatre trips, and cooking!
