Governance

We lead with heart.

No-one knows their school better than the Principal or Head who runs it. And no-one cares more about it than they do. We make sure they lead on every decision, preserving the individual character and ethos of their schools. We look for leaders who love the fun — as well as the fundamentals — of the classroom.

We’re a team.

Individually we can achieve amazing things, but together we’re extraordinary. So, while each of our schools is independent, they’re strengthened by being part of a family that shares resources and expertise. Our management structure has no more than four levels from our board of directors to the most junior members. This means everyone knows where they fit in the bigger picture.

We do it well.

We work closely with regulatory authorities and inspection bodies to ensure everyone in the Dukes family delivers the highest possible standards. Additionally, the members of the Dukes Education Advisory Board come together regularly to discuss recent and future developments across the group. Their expert support and guidance sets newer, higher standards for all.

We love learning.

We believe education should be exciting at any stage. So, we’re driven to instil our lifelong love of learning in our students — through teaching inside the classroom and, outside, through our initiatives. We also provide extensive staff training, leadership and management.
