Dunsville Primary School

Dunsville Primary School serves the children in our local community and more recently children from outside the catchment area. We offer provision for children from the age of 3 to 11.

Our vision is to provide “Excellence and Enjoyment” for the children who come to our school. When we joined the Trust in 2019 the school carried an Ofsted judgement of ‘requires improvement’ but the support and challenge from the Trust has enabled us to realise our vision of providing the very best education for our children. In November 2022, Ofsted stated that ‘Learners have created a learning environment in which pupils thrive and that ……staff work with pupils and families to achieve the school’s vision of working as one to achieve excellence through enjoyment’. We couldn’t have been more proud and attribute some of this success to the support given to the school from the Trust.

 Although we have high expectations of attainment, we are equally passionate about offering care for all of our children as individuals. We care for one another and consider ourselves to all be learners together. We pride ourselves on working with families and offering them and the children pastoral support for a range of needs.

We are delighted to be part of Brighter Futures Learning Partnership Trust as we feel that working in partnership with other schools, this benefits all of our children. We work in collaboration across a range of subjects and on specific projects to enhance learning. The children have opportunities to meet each other by participating in joint sporting events also.

Looking to the future we feel that partnership working with our MAT schools will only be advantageous to our children and further opportunities will arise for them through collaboration with the University Technical College (UTC).
