Welcome to our website. I hope it gives you a flavour of our school and what an amazing place it is for our children to learn and develop over time. The children have all settled beautifully into their new classes and the school is calm and settled. Hopefully you will have had all the information you need to help you support your child with their return to school.
We were really pleased with the outcome of our most recent OFSTED inspection in November 2022. We feel it reflects what it is like to be a learner at Dalestorth and also the culture we as leaders have tried to create and build upon. A copy of the report is in the OFSTED section of this website.
