Dunalley is a warm, vibrant, two‑form entry community school at the heart of Cheltenham. We are proud to be a place where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to learn and achieve alongside one another. With our own pre‑school and nursery, children begin their educational journey with us from their earliest years, growing in confidence as they move through the school and on to secondary education.

Our community thrives on curiosity, creativity, and a rich variety of experiences. Programmes such as Commando Joe’s and OPAL Play broaden children’s horizons and help them develop the life skills we hold dear. Through an ambitious curriculum and consistently high expectations, we support every child to discover a love of learning, strive for their personal best, and flourish socially, emotionally, and physically. Our spacious grounds, excellent facilities, and Cheltenham setting provide an inspiring environment for this journey.

As you learn more about Dunalley, we hope you gain a sense of the energy, ambition, and care that shape daily life here. Our commitment goes beyond academic success; we aim to equip children with the resilience, curiosity, and character they need to thrive in an ever‑changing world.

We are incredibly proud of our pupils—their enthusiasm, their kindness, and the way they embrace every opportunity. While this website offers a window into our school, nothing compares to experiencing our community in person. We warmly invite you to visit and see the Dunalley spirit for yourself.
