Throughout their time at Davenies, the boys get the opportunity to go on many field trips and educational visits to a wide variety of places that truly enhance the learning experience.
The academic life of the school is overseen by the Director of Studies and the Head of Pre-Prep. Heads of Department for each subject area ensure the delivery of an up to date and challenging curriculum. Ongoing assessment is relevant and pupil progress is tracked in order to inform future teaching and learning goals.
Above all else, we believe that the learning process must be engaging, inspiring and challenging. Teaching and learning are supported by a wide range of resources and co-curricular activities. The ethos and values that are inherent to the school foster an enthusiasm for lifelong learning and encourage independence of thought. The children develop self-esteem, a wide range of knowledge and essential communication, study and life skills as they progress.
