PREP

Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.

Visit the school's website to learn more about their unique curriculum, policies on testing and common leaver destinations (a good indicator of pupil progress). See our About page for information on Choosing A Prep School.

School Description

Duncombe School is Hertford’s only co-educational Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep school for children aged 2-11. In 2014, we were rated “Outstanding” in all areas by the School Inspection Service. We strive to provide a vibrant and happy environment where pupils feel safe and secure, but are willing to be challenged and stretched. We have an excellent heritage of preparing children for the rigorous entrance tests of selective secondary schools, and all of our recent Year 6 pupils received offers from their first choice school.

Duncombe School Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK. Contact the school directly or visit their website for more information on Admissions Policy and Procedures.
