Dothill Primary School

At Dothill Primary School we aim to provide motivating first-hand experiences whilst encouraging children to be resilient learners, to persevere and aspire to be the best they can be. We aim to provide our children with the knowledge and skills they need to actively develop relationships with each other through learning to be compassionate and fostering forgiveness. We offer them opportunities within an enriched curriculum which support their experiences prior to beginning their journey at Dothill.

Our four overarching principles, from the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage are:

• Every pupil is a unique child, who is consistently learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
• Pupils learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships.
• Pupils learn and develop well in enabling environments with teaching and support from adults, who respond to their individual interests and needs and help them to build their learning over time. Pupils benefit from a strong partnership between practitioners and parents and/or carers.
• Pupils develop and learn at different rates, so the curriculum offered caters for each child’s individual needs.
