"Exceptional Support for SEND"

As a parent of a child with SEND, I was initially nervous about transitioning to a new school. However, the support and care shown by the staff at The Duchy School Bradninch has been outstanding. Mrs Prior, the SENDCo, has been a lifesaver and has made all the difference in ensuring our child's needs are met.

"A Good but Not Outstanding Experience"

We had a generally positive experience at The Duchy School Bradninch, but unfortunately, our child struggled with some of the more challenging aspects of the curriculum. While the staff were friendly and supportive, we felt that some of the facilities and resources were a bit lacking compared to other schools in the area.
