"In The Dales School our purpose is to meet the individual needs of each pupil
through a quality, stimulating curriculum in a caring, secure environment
where we all work together and everyone is valued"

Welcome to The Dales School. Whether you are a parent, a pupil, or a friend of our School, we hope you will find our online brochure interesting and informative, and that it will encourage you to visit us. If you find there are questions that have not been answered, please do not hesitate to contact the school. If you have any concerns, please remember that the staff are understanding, sympathetic, and very willing to help in any situation.

Our prospectus provides information concerning the school as required by the 1993 Education Act, for parents of pupils who are expected to enter the school, and also for parents who wish to know about the opportunities available at the school.

Our Aims:

* To create a happy, welcoming, stimulating environment which will provide the children with the opportunity and motivation to develop their full potential, socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually

* To encourage the children to develop their independence and positive attitudes to learning

* To develop an atmosphere where all pupils feel valued themselves and treat all others with respect

* To encourage children to take responsibility for their behaviour

It is hoped that the children will leave the school at Year 6 level, well equipped to continue the development of these skills at their next level of education.

Our School Prayer:

Thank you for our time at school for work and fun and play,
Lets all work hard and help our friends and have a cheerful day.
