All of the students at Danesfield Church of England Middle School, as well as their parents, guardians, families, friends, and neighbours, are cordially invited to join us in extending a warm welcome. Williton County Secondary Modern was the name given to the 1959 construction of Danesfield Church of England School. To service the nearby communities of Williton, Watchet, and Washford, the first school was constructed. These neighbourhoods continue to be the school's core constituencies, although Danesfield increasingly serves a far larger region. In order to help kids fulfil their potential, we wish to support both our students and their families. Our school provides children with a cheerful environment that tries to encourage learning, diligence, initiative, self-discipline, and responsibility, both inside the school and in the larger community. We respect good manners, place a high priority on gentleness and humility, and we uphold traditional values. We value each person's uniqueness, and success and excellent character are equally valued. Whether they have been in the areas of academics, athletics, music, theatre, or the arts, we are extremely proud of the School and its accomplishments over the years. We hope to be able to warmly welcome you and your kid to the School and begin the relationship that will create the groundwork for your child's success in the future. We hope that visiting our website will give you a taste of what your kid and you may expect from our school. If you haven't already, we'd like to invite you to stop by and learn more about us by taking a tour of our facilities and speaking with our staff and young students.
