Our Vision for the School

HAPPY LEARNING FOR A HEALTHY FUTURE

Dinton CE Primary School is an aspirational school looking to be the first choice for local families and to play a key role in the community. Core British values and the Christian values of respect, trust, responsibility, friendship and truthfulness provide the basis for the caring, supportive environment which instils a healthy self-esteem and respect for others in all who work in the school.

The school offers a high standard of teaching across a broad and balanced curriculum, aiming to provide all pupils with the learning opportunities and challenges that will allow them to reach their full potential and to be prepared for life-long learning.

Pupils are encouraged to takes responsibility for their own learning and to celebrate effort, achievement and success. Each year, the school seeks to move forward by preparing and following an improvement plan based on experience and focussing on ways to better meet the needs of pupils and staff.
