Welcome Message from Captains

We are Duncanrig’s 2026/27 School Captains and this is our message for the P7’s transitioning here next August. This school is an amazing place that has shaped who we are as people and provided so many fantastic opportunities for every pupil that walks through its doors. We know the transition period can be scary and overwhelming as we have been through it ourselves just a few years ago, but there is no place more welcoming than Duncanrig. The school has a fantastic positive atmosphere and a brilliant sense of community, which means every young person can find their own unique path into learning, socialising and becoming a successful and well-rounded young adult. Every teacher, pupil and member of staff (especially your Head of Year, the incredible Mr Atkins!) help the new first years adjust and settle in to the inevitable challenges of moving up to such a big school and meeting loads of new faces for the first time. We wish you all the best luck in the most amazing school and we hope you take every opportunity thrown your way! Welcome to Duncanrig!
