The Pewsey-based Prep School has a long association with both of its educational geographic neighbours – regularly having the best success rates at placing children in Dauntsey’s and Marlborough College (alongside other schools further afield).

This year has proved no exception, with a phenomenal 100% success rate for all pupils who sat the Dauntsey’s entrance exam! A phenomenal 13 pupils from the Wiltshire independent school have gained a place at the Senior School, with one Academic Scholarship and Sports Scholarships yet to be sat.

Virginia Neal, Deputy Head (Academic) at St Francis explained “This is an outstanding set of results, and whilst not the first time St Francis has achieved 100% success rate at Dauntsey’s, 13 pupils is a significant cohort. We wish them every success at Dauntsey’s and will be wishing the sports scholars good luck in due course (once the pitches have defrosted!).”
