Dunton CofE Junior School
About Dunton CofE Junior School
Dunton CofE Junior School is a small Church of England primary in Central Bedfordshire that parents seem to genuinely appreciate. While the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, its oversubscription ratio tells its own story: the school has a capacity of 75 but currently holds just 50 pupils, meaning there is plenty of room for new families. This is a school that feels intimate and manageable, with a headteacher, David Bower, leading a close-knit community. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That is a clean sweep of solid grades. It is worth noting that the previous inspection, back in 2010, had rated the school Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating represents a step down, but inspectors clearly still found plenty to praise.
