Our vision is to inspire an aspiration for individual and community success through hard work, A Value is a principle that guides our thinking and our behaviour. At Dalton School, every individual is valued for who they are and what they contribute to the school. Values are intended to support the personal, social and spiritual development of every pupil throughout the school.
The whole staff team, parents and pupils are involved in promoting values and recognising where others are 'living the values'.
