A warm welcome to you and your family. I hope you enjoy looking around the school website and get to know our school family and community. I am proud to lead a school that cares for every child, member of the school team, and community. This is a school that is passionate about inclusion, equality, equity, and social justice.
Dorney School is ambitious for every child who attends our school. We seek to develop happy, resilient, emotionally intelligent, and responsible citizens of the future. We are fully inclusive and accept every child for who they are.
We do not seek to change anyone but to equip each child further with self-belief, universal values, love for their family and community, and academic prowess. We know that our children uphold our shared values, and we are proud of our community of learners. We genuinely believe in acceptance not just tolerance.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
