EDUCATION
IN ASSOCIATION WITH
ST DUNSTAN’ S COLLEGE SENIOR SCHOOL REDEFINING EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION
BY JADE MCLELLAN, HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL
At St Dunstan’ s College Senior School, we view the pursuit of excellence as a dynamic and evolving endeavour, requiring a thoughtful balance between remaining anchored in a principled educational philosophy and responding intelligently to the shifting landscape of the world. Our group-wide vision: Excellence. Differently. reflects our mission to cultivate a progressive community where innovation, integrity and individuality flourish in a culture of academic excellence.
From the very beginning of their journey, we ask our students to reflect not just on what they want to achieve, but on who they want to become. Which values will guide their decisions? Which principles will shape their lives? We believe that education must prepare young people not only for the world as it is, but for the world as it could be.
True excellence demands a willingness to think differently, act boldly and lead with purpose, which is why St Dunstan’ s has been celebrated as one of the most progressive school groups in the UK. We are unapologetically ambitious, with our A-level results placing us comfortably among the UK’ s top 60 independent schools, and, in recent years, the Senior School has proudly been named Tes Independent School of the Year, Co-educational School of the Year and Most Progressive Independent School in South East England. These accolades reflect our commitment to innovation, inclusion and excellence across every area of school life.
At the centre of our community is a powerful moral purpose. We do not measure success by grades alone, but by the kind of people our students become. With integrity as a cornerstone, we nurture young people to be thoughtful, ethical leaders and individuals who are prepared not only to thrive in the world, but to improve it.
Excellence. Differently. is more than a motto. It is our commitment to lead, with courage, curiosity and compassion.
