On behalf of all the staff and governors I would like to welcome you to Dundale Primary School and Nursery. Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions that you will make. We are committed to giving your child the best all-round education that we can.
We set high expectations in terms of behaviour and attitudes to learning and these, together with our core values, are reinforced throughout the day in every aspect of school life. Dundale is a thriving community school which is part of the Ridgeway Learning Partnership. We place a strong emphasis on inclusion for all.
We are proud of the pastoral care we provide for children and continuously aim to provide opportunities for them to develop key skills to help them, both in their next steps of learning, but also wider life.
We have a strong focus on raising levels of achievement by developing the curriculum towards an empowering learning experience, where pupils are equipped with the thinking, social and learning skills needed for their future economic well-being.
