This care is inextricably linked with teaching and learning and the structural organisation of the school, promoting pupils’ personal and social development and embedding positive attitudes. The Dragon recognises that, pastoral care is not merely a complementary practice. An informality and nurturing ethos build trust and children develop a sense of responsibility and respect for others and become well-rounded, confident, independent and motivated individuals. We pride ourselves on providing a safe and happy environment in which to learn. Destination schools include Eton, Harrow, Cheltenham Ladies College, Headington, Dulwich College, Marlborough College, Radley, Rugby School, St Edward’s, Wellington College and Winchester. Our pupils win numerous scholarships and awards to leading senior schools and families benefit from the bespoke advice and guidance of the Future Schools department. In addition to the exeat bus service, there is a new weekly Sunday evening Dragon bus service from London. Boarders enjoy evening and weekend activities with their friends including external speaker events and a busy afternoon of sports fixtures on Saturdays. There are ten Junior and Senior boarding houses each run by dedicated Houseparents who create a real ‘home from home’ for the children. Pupils can choose from a wide variety of options including Film making, cultural outings in Oxford and Paddle boarding on the beautiful River Cherwell.īoarding remains at the very heart of the school with a flexible range of boarding options starting from age 8. Weekends are now even more exciting thanks to the launch of Dragon QUEST – a Saturday morning enrichment programme. Intellectual and philosophical challenge underpins an expansive academic curriculum, a wonderful programme of sport and an extraordinarily creative programme of music, drama and art.
