![]() The Dragon enjoys an international reputation and can boast a variety of eminent dragons – and now it can boast a new high-flying Headmaster as it welcomes Dr Crispin Hyde-Dunn into its lair. The size of the school means that they can offer a huge range of sports, something for everyone, and pride themselves on nearly all the children representing the school at something during the year.īut, as I said before, different schools suit different children.What do Sir John Betjeman, Cressida Dick, Tom Hiddleston and Emma Watson have in common? They all attended the Dragon School in Oxford, a co-educational boarding and day school that offers an exceptional educational experience for both boys and girls from 4 to 13 years. Our son is depressingly useless at Maths and English but I find him in the Art Scholars' group, the school having unearthed talents I didn't know he had. My son is musical but hates performing in public so they have some 'informal' concerts, in a small room, for the sensitive children to perform in an almost stress free environment. It seems the opposite from my perspective (my son wants more football!) with the Chamber Choir performing from London to Lisbon, the big band in national finals and drama being a huge thing at the school but done in a way so that even the reluctant (my son!) get on stage. I was interested in the 'less good for the sensitive musical types' comment. I don't think it would be unsettling for your son at all. The huge range of after school activities, with yet different children in different year groups, is another opportunity to make different friends. This means they live and work with a wide variety of boys and girls in their year. Although the children are in forms they are in sets for things such as Maths and languages and in different groups for art, DT etc. There is a new boy in my son's room in the boarding house and he seems to have been immediately accepted. There are a number of children who come and go at different ages (mainly leave for financial reasons) and the turnover doesn't seem to bother them. ![]() Our son went to the Dragon as a boarder at 8. Apologies to JosieL67 for my tardy response. ![]()
