The Dorset Difference

 

At Dorset Primary School, our students and staff aim to inspire, achieve and succeed. We teach students to be lifelong learners and responsible, resilient people. Each student is supported by a team of experienced and passionate educators.

Clubs are tailored to student interests and include a choir and art club among many others. Our breakfast club also runs before school each day.
