Choosing Dunbar...
Dunbar
welcomes boys and girls at age 11 and provides them with adedicated
environment and community for the transitional two years
between Primary School and the 3rd Form of Pangbourne College.
We
welcome boys and girls to stay in our modern boarding house. The
students are supervised by a dedicated team of staff, who provide exceptional
pastoral guidance acting, often simultaneously, as mentor, counsellor,
supporter and friend.
Dedicated environment ...
The
boarding house has a fully equipped
day room for use by the day students as well as boarders. The dayroom has a
pool table, table tennis table, table football as well as many board games. The
building itself backs onto a garden and
large open space, where the children can unwind, run around and play with their friends.
Dunbar
students use all of the Colleges facilities, be it rowing on the Thames, scaling the climbing wall or playing in our
new Music centre on a Steinwayspiano.
Having Fun…
Dunbar
students are happy and full of
energy. Throughout their two years the Dunbar students embark on a multitude of
trips and take part in many exciting events that promote experiential learning
as well as team work skills.
The
two year Dunbar experience rallies
to a close with the 2nd Form
Camping Expedition
which serves as an excellent prelude to their participation in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme,
starting in the 3rd Form.
Leadership...
The
2nd Form students have to opportunity to be promoted as Dunbar Prefects. The Prefects have real roles and responsibilities. For example, the Head
Boy and Head Girl summarise the year groups’ time at Dunbar by giving a speech
at the 2nd Form Dinner.
Caring Community...
By
working in a close knit community we
develop the whole child and give them opportunities to explore their own characters as well as strengthening their independence, moral values and team
work. We support each child on every
step of their journey.
Developing each Child...
Dunbar prides itself on developing the confidence of young boys and girls,
giving them a firm foundation they can build upon as they move up through
Pangbourne College.
We provide a framework build upon a consistent
and high level of care and discipline
that encourages and motivates the individual
child.
High Academic Expectations….
Our
students are taught in small classes resulting in a high level of teacher
contact, this enables their teachers to apply academic rigor whilst the students achieve and maintain their highest standards.
Our
high expectations ensure that each child flourishes
in an environment where every child is truly known by their tutor or
teacher.
