School Profile

Dumpton is a day school for girls and boys aged 21/2 - 13, yet still retains much of the atmosphere of the days when there were boarders too. The Headmaster and his family live in the school and the pastoral care and attention readily given to all pupils is still considered to be of paramount importance. Our school motto: "You can because you think you can", lies at the cornerstone of teaching at Dumpton. The school aims to educate children in a supportive, caring environment, within a framework of family and Christian values, stressing the importance of teamwork and mutual respect at all times. Rule number one is: "Treat others as you would like them to treat you".

All children are expected and encouraged to fulfil their potential. Given the excellent facilities and high staff:pupil ratio, Dumpton is well-placed to aim for high academic and extra-curricular standards. In addition we want to help children develop a clear sense of right and wrong, to become confident communicators and to appreciate the importance of good manners, friendliness and tolerance. The atmosphere in school is cheerful and positive, created by the strong relationships between adults and children, and between the children themselves. Great emphasis is made of the fact that a child who is happy and enjoys being at school is far more likely to do well.
