Vision, Values and Ethos

Dormanstown Primary is committed to developing each child’s unique potential within an environment where all pupils can thrive and not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, a love of learning and be well prepared for their future lives. Our learning environment is integral in promoting key learning dispositions and values and fulfilling the ‘inspiration, aspiration, collaboration and celebration’ embodied in our school logo. Through the provision of a range of educational experiences, we aim to increase confidence, broaden horizons and increase pupils’ cultural capital. We define progress as the widening and deepening of key knowledge, skills and understanding, which together with the development of key values and learning dispositions leads to success both now and in the future. The provision at Dormanstown Primary ensures pupils have the essential knowledge, learning dispositions and key values to embrace the opportunities and challenges they encounter to go out into the world and make a difference to their own lives and that of others.

Our children have excellent learning behaviours, are eager to learn and are supported by a team of hard-working and dedicated staff.  The children of Dormanstown Primary are happy learners, who work hard to reach the challenges set by their teachers.
