What makes Dormansland Special ?

At Dormansland we are proud to be able to offer a wide variety of activities, which are supplementary to the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum. We feel these make us rather special. Over the past years, Dormansland Primary School has been officially recognised for the quality of our education through the special achievement awards from the Government and the Basic Skills Quality Mark celebrating our ways of working in Literacy and Numeracy.

The school has also received official recognition as a ‘Parent Friendly School’ and achieved the ‘Investors in People’ award. Each year thousands of schools are considered for these awards but only a small percentage measure up to the demanding standards set for them. We are delighted and proud to have received these awards!
