Headteacher’s Welcome
Thank you for visiting our website. I am proud to be the Headteacher of Dorrington Academy following my appointment in September 2024.
At Dorrington Academy, we aspire to be an outstanding, inclusive community school where every child is empowered to reach their full potential. We aim for our children to leave equipped with the academic knowledge, skills and personal attributes needed to become successful citizens in modern Britain.
Guided by our core values of contribution, compassion, respect, positivity and perseverance, we embrace a creative, personalised curriculum that nurtures the spiritual, moral and social wellbeing of our diverse community.
We relentlessly strive for our children to be happy and feel safe in school, extending their learning through a broad and balanced, experience-rich curriculum that creates challenges and fosters growth. Our curriculum is carefully planned and sequenced so that our children are taught the right things at the right time – building on what has come before.
Through our unwavering commitment to inclusion and our school motto, “Together We Are Stronger,” we endeavour to create an environment where all children can achieve great things, both individually and as part of the wider community. The academic learning is underpinned by a strong emphasis on personal development and social skills, enabling children to make and maintain healthy relationships with others. They learn responsibility and develop a sense of self, understanding and valuing their place in the world while respecting the same for others.
This web site aims to give you a taster of Dorrington, as well as providing regular updated information for both parents and pupils. We hope that you enjoy your visit to our web site, and that you find any information you are looking for. Please feel free to contact us with any queries you may have. Thank you for visiting!
