"The hard work of the students and teachers is reflected in the fantastic progress our students make.

"St Dunstan's is small enough to ensure that every student achieves their best in a supportive environment where every student is both encouraged and challenged to achieve their very best, while still accessing a full broad curriculum, the best of both worlds. I am very proud of this great set of results that places us as one of the top schools in Somerset."
