Dauntsey's School is a public school (fee-charging boarding and day school) for pupils aged 11–18 in the village of West Lavington, Wiltshire, England. The school was founded in 1542 in accordance with the will of William Dauntesey, a master of the Worshipful Company of Mercers.
The school was moved to its current site in 1895. The school occupies approximately 65 acres (260,000 m2) of land at the main school campus. The school also owns land at Market Lavington, approximately 15 minutes walk (or 1 mile drive) from the main school. Here the Manor House[1] is used as a Lower School boarding house and has sports pitches and woodlands in its grounds.
Students typically arrive in years 7, 9 and 12 (known as First Form, Third Form and Lower Sixth respectively), although a few enter in the other years. Years 7, 8 and 9 (known as First, Second and Third Forms) are collectively known as the Lower School, and years 10, 11, 12 and 13 are referred to as the Upper School. In addition, Years 12 and 13 (Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth) are collectively known as the Sixth Form.
The school is divided into houses and each pupil assigned to a house for their time in the Lower School, then to a different house in the Upper School. Most houses are named after former headmasters, the exceptions being Manor, Farmer, Mercers (named after a building, a generous donor and the livery company respectively) and Lambert (named for Agnes Lambert, wife of William Dauntsey). All houses except Manor are on the main school site.[2]
In the Lower School, houses are mixed gender and each day pupil house has its own room where pupils have a locker and where they must register each morning. The Manor House is the only boarding house for Lower School boarders and is where they live, sleep and eat breakfast and dinner.
The house a pupil is in does not affect their academic class groups but the houses compete against each other in sporting and other events.
In the Upper School, houses are single gender, and the eight houses are divided equally among day, boarding, female and male pupils. Boarding houses have bedrooms, bathrooms, common rooms and kitchens. Day houses have a room for each year group in the house and basic cooking facilities, along with offices for tutors and House Parents.
In addition to houses, laboratories and classrooms, the school has:
Jolie Brise, a gaff rigged pilot cutter owned and operated by the school, is sailed by Dauntsey pupils throughout the year.[4]
In summer 2000 Dauntsey crews took part in The Tall Ships' Race, which took her across the Atlantic. She was declared the overall winner of this race.[5] She also won The Tall Ships' Races 2002, which took her from Alicante to Malaga. In 2009 the Jolie Brise came second in class, of the Tall Ships Race, the final destination of which was Belfast, where the ships were greeted, after a transatlantic race, by an estimated 400,000 people.[citation needed] Jolie Brise also won the Tall Ships Race in 2015 and again in 2016.[5]
The school was founded in accordance with the will of alderman William Dauntesey, master of the Worshipful Company of Mercers.[6]
Dauntesey was himself from West Lavington, the son of John Dauntesey, and when he died in April 1542, he left money in his will dated 10 March 1542 for the founding of the school. He gave the Mercers' Company lands in London so that they could build a schoolhouse for a grammar school at West Lavington and also support seven poor persons in an almshouse, within the same charity. The master of the school was to be appointed by the heir of Dauntesey's brother Ambrose Dauntesey, but the company was to have the power of dismissal. In 1868, a schools inquiry commission noted that "By ancient custom, the owner of the Dauntesey estate at West Lavington, now Lord Churchill, appoints".[7]
Three and a half centuries after the school's foundation, the school moved to its current site at the north end of West Lavington, Wiltshire. The new school buildings were designed by the architect C.E. Ponting and in May 1895 Joseph Chamberlain officially opened them and inaugurated Dauntsey's Agricultural School.
In 1929 the school bought the Manor House estate at Market Lavington, which now provides accommodation for lower school boarders. In 1930, the school changed its name to Dauntsey's School although it remained largely dedicated to an agriculture-based education. At that time it fulfilled the role that the County Agricultural Colleges fill today, the latter partly sponsored by the state. The intake of pupils in the 1930s was a broad cross-section of the Wiltshire farming community, from farm labourers' children to those of wealthy gentlemen farmers. It continued thus, with the addition of sons of commissioned officers in the armed forces, until 1971.
In 1967, the 'Olive Block' opened, which is now Fitzmaurice House. 1970 saw the foundation of the sailing club, while, in 1971, the first girls were admitted. In 1972, the farm buildings were closed and the school became a primarily academic institution. In 1977, the school acquired Jolie Brise. The school continues a wide range of building and expansion projects to this day, including the recent building of the Upper School girls' day houses, and a re-vamp of the sports hall. More recent developments have included an astroturf pitch for hockey purposes.[8]
The school's affiliation with the Mercers Company continues, and the Master Mercer is a regular guest of honour or speaker at school events. The company also helps with financial support for students' individual ventures, including gap years and sporting tours, where the company sees fit.
In 2005, Dauntsey's School was one of fifty of the country's independent schools which were found guilty of running an illegal price-fixing cartel which had allowed them to drive up fees for thousands of parents. Each school was required to pay a nominal penalty of £10,000 and they all agreed to make ex-gratia payments totalling £3 million into a trust designed to benefit pupils who attended the schools during the period in respect of which fee information was shared.[9]
According to a 2021 Freedom of Information Request, the school was expected to be among the many independent schools to withdraw from the Teachers' Pension Scheme, effective 31 August 2022.[10]
Fees for 2023/24:
Day pupils £22,800 (£7,600 per term)
UK boarders £37,740 (£12,580 per term)
Flexi-boarding (Years 7 and 8 only) £28,500 (£9,500 per term)
International pupils £43,590 (£14,530 per term).[11][12]
