About

Dolphin School is unique. It is a school where our core values of Freedom, Discovery, Challenge, Confidence and Kindness are lived out each and every day.

Whether it is through our extensive and varied trips programme, our subject specialist teaching from nursery upwards, our lack of uniform, or the first name terms between students and teachers, Dolphin is a school that is different, and proudly so. Dolphin exists in the image of its founding days.

The curriculum is experiential, teachers have the freedom to explore ideas and topics as they arise, and our children are encouraged to be curious, volunteer their own insights and ask questions.

Whenever visitors encounter our students in their learning environments, they comment on the genuine enthusiasm shown by our boys and girls, as they vie for the opportunity to tell our guests what they are studying.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
