"A Mixed Bag at Duncombe"

We've had a decent experience at Duncombe so far, with some standout teachers and enjoyable extracurricular activities. However, the school's communication has been inconsistent, and we've had issues with the wrap-around care. Still, we see potential and are willing to give it more time.

"Excellent Prep School Experience"

My son was at Duncombe from Reception to Year 6, and we couldn't be more satisfied. The school's emphasis on individuality, kindness, and creativity has stuck with him. The digital learning program is particularly impressive, and he's now confident in his tech skills.
