Dukes Education is a family of schools and education organisations based in the UK and Europe. We bring together schools that are diverse in their offering, and yet united as outstanding examples of teaching and learning. Though a relatively new organisation, launched in 2015, Dukes has grown quickly and, in 2026 has 63 education brands and over 80 settings, across 11 countries, supporting more than 24,000 pupils and nearly 5,000 staff. Dukes also operates a number of leading summer short courses, university and medical school consultancies, immersive career experience providers, and one-to-one student support offerings, creating a cradle-to-career suite of services. Many Dukes Education schools and organisations are long-established, with decades of experience providing excellent teaching and care to students. We are now of sufficient scale to shape what excellence looks like in the education space for children of all ages. We celebrate the autonomy of our schools, with Principals and Heads leading on all decisions. Each member organisation is distinctive. However, we joined together because we found cultures in these organisations that shared characteristics – optimism, ambition, and a deep commitment to outstanding teaching and learning. We believe that together we will be more powerful in helping young people go on to live fulfilling lives.

With 40 years of experience, we are experts in outdoor learning and adventure, and one of the UK's leading providers of residential experiences. Each year, we run roughly 1.2 million activity sessions for 170,000 guests from across the world. We believe that a brilliant residential should be seen as a fundamental part of a well-rounded education. By taking pupils out of a formal classroom environment and into fun, exhilarating experiences focused on challenge and adventure, we help groups bond, encourage the shyest to shine and the unmotivated to become the most enthusiastic about developing a new skill. Our activity programmes are Skills-Builder accredited, curriculum-linked and designed with three key learning outcomes in mind: confidence, reslience and life skills. Each centre provides a safe environment for a wide range of adventurous activities and learning opportunities, both indoors and outdoors, ranging from kayaking and abseiling to problem solving and curriculum linked sessions. We work with groups to tailor-make programmes that match their learning outcomes - whether it's developing communication and teamwork, boosting confidence or making lifelong memories. Kingswood is an Inspiring Learning company, a family of brands built around the pursuit of lifelong learning. Kingswood is also one of the leading providers of the residential phase of the National Citizen Service (NCS) programme.
