Overview

Dorset Primary School's focus is on providing a nurturing environment in which individual students are valued and encouraged to develop the highest standards in personal and academic achievement.

The school strives to meet individual needs of students, catering for those who require special assistance and fostering special talents and interests.  The school fosters the students’ desire to learn by stimulating their curiosity and developing relevant learning activities directly related to school interests.

The school aims to provide equality of opportunity, regardless of language, cultural background or gender.

The staff has adopted a team approach to curriculum planning and implementation.  An ongoing program of professional development aims to build on teachers’ considerable skills and experience.

Parental involvement is valued and parents are encouraged to enrich curriculum by sharing their skills and participating in all facets of school life.  This high level of parental participation enhances the community spirit existing within the school.

The school offers seven-year sequential programs in each of: English, Mathematics, Science, Technology, Health and Physical Education, , Music, Studies of Society and the Environment, The Arts and French.

I trust your association with our school is a happy and valued one for us all.
