Daiglen School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

The Daiglen School is an independent co-educational day school with a long history, having been founded in 1916 before moving to its current site in 1950. Since 1977, the school has operated as an educational trust overseen by a board of governors, all of whom serve as trustees of the charitable trust that owns the school. The school welcomes children from the age of three through to eleven, with an Early Years Foundation Stage for the youngest children and an Infant and Junior school for those aged five to eleven. The school aims to support pupils' personal, social, creative, academic and physical development, helping them grow into confident, independent and responsible individuals. It seeks to offer the right balance of challenge and support, providing a broad education that equips pupils with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values they need. Pupils come mainly from the local area and represent a diverse mix of cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Thirty-six pupils speak English as an additional language and receive classroom support, and the school also provides for a small number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The outdoor area has been remodelled to include an all-weather sports surface, used during playtimes and after-school sports clubs.
