Our vision
We aim to provide a broad, challenging curriculum – with care, trust and support at its core – while learning together and having high expectations. We strive to develop healthy people who are confident, creative, independent and reflective thinkers. Our pupils, with their strong values, will make a positive contribution to any society.
Our Mission
- In order to ensure our vision is realised in everything we do, Dallington School has defined its mission in the following way:
- Create a curriculum which has breadth, balance and depth, and to review it each year
- Give time and attention in the curriculum to global awareness, thinking skills, and communication skills
- Plan and teach rigorously for the development of students’ multiple intelligences
- Complement the curriculum through co- curricular experiences
- Provide students with a strong knowledge base, and emphasise the development of their understanding, abilities, and skills
- Use a wide variety of teaching approaches so students can learn, and present what they have learnt in different ways
- Challenge all students through appropriate and realistic learning activities and set high expectations for effort and achievement
- Ensure students participate actively in all their learning
- Help students to think and act creatively, and to reflect on their learning
- Assess, record, and report students’ progress effectively and continuously to ensure maximum possible achievement
- Care for, and support each child in terms of personal and academic development
- Give confidence and belief to all pupils by valuing their contributions to all aspects of learning and setting targets for the next steps in their development
- Provide a structured system for students’ additional learning needs
- Help students to acquire strong values for themselves and in relation to others
- Emphasise in all our educational work the importance of staying healthy and fit
