Together with the Dragon Pre-Prep, we welcome boys and girls aged 4 to 13 years. The extraordinary education provided here to every individual pupil stays with them for life. The pupils in our care have outstanding opportunities for discovery, adventure and learning. At the Dragon, new talents are uncovered and ambitions nurtured; friendships are forged and challenges embraced. Every pupil is valued and every achievement celebrated. Our beautiful campus and dedicated Pre-Prep, located in the oldest University city in the land, afford an inspirational environment for teaching and learning. Our facilities also ensure that pupils can excel at the performing arts, music and sport. A strong scaffold for academic excellence is provided by our cutting edge curriculum and outstanding teaching, equipping our pupils for smooth transition to their senior schools and beyond. The Dragon is a special place where children learn just as much outside the classroom as they do inside it. We promote kindness and tolerance, we encourage a sense of responsibility and service to others, and we teach children to respect and nurture their own wellbeing. This prospectus provides only a glimpse of our school but I do hope it will encourage you to explore our school website and to visit us to see what the Dragon can offer your family. I very much look forward to meeting you. Dr. Crispin Hyde-Dunn Headmaster 1 Imagination and Originality The Dragon School was founded by a group of Oxford dons as the Oxford Preparatory School in 1877.

This is true of the demands from the pupils for more representation (or more involvement in their aneas of life). It is true of the great debate about the relationship between thc teacher and the taught. It is true of the new way of approaching educatioD, the way of enlarging the perception of the child by appreciating his own understanding, entering upon his own experieno;: and accepting it as valuable. As a direct result of the changes in the outside community -the vast inp'ease in knowledge, and its application-there has 10 be a cornesponding change within the systems of education in order to equip ind.ividuals 10 cope with external conditions. Friction occurs at a time when the teachers refuse to allow for the altered conditions-and not only friction is produ.eed, but a people who cannot relate themselves with tlreir surroundings.
