About the school
“At Duchy, we want the very best for all children from the first second they join us: ensuring we get the children’s education right from the very start. Our strong emphasis on having the very best teaching of early reading, phonics, writing and maths will lay the solid foundations for every child.”
Established school - open since before 2014. Became an academy in April 2014, continuing the school that was already there.
