Welcome to the Davenant Foundation School website. At Davenant, we value the long history of the school which stretches back to the work of our founder, Ralph Davenant, in the East End of London during the 17th Century. This still provides an inspiration for us and sits alongside our absolute commitment to provide the best for our community in the 21st Century.
Being a Christian ecumenical school for 11-18 year old students, we have a very special ethos in which to pursue our goal of excellence for every student. Our achievements are recorded both in our examination results and in the recognition we receive for our wide range of other activities.
Davenant is a D.C.S.F. Training School which has established an excellent reputation for teacher training and staff development. Also, we are a specialist Sports and Languages College which has meant that we are able to commit extra resources to these curriculum areas and are heavily involved in supporting the development of these subjects in local schools.
Whether you are a parent, a student, a prospective employee or curious web browser, we hope you will enjoy using this site. If you would like to find out more, please do not hesitate to contact us.
