About Us

Everyone at Dormston has a pivotal role to play in creating a vibrant and dynamic school.

We have high aspirations for pupils and staff alike and believe that if you try hard; the sky is the limit. We aim to inspire confident, motivated students who have a passion for learning and are fully equipped to contribute to society.

Our school was rated Good by Ofsted in June 2022 who commented on Dormston’s “harmonious and cohesive community”. Our school had a caring and positive culture that ensures everyone is supported and encouraged. Our school vision ‘Knowledge is strength’ threads seamlessly through all aspects of our school. 

We are very aware that happy teachers make a happy school and therefore we nurture talent that inspires, motivates, and ignites young minds. All our teachers benefit from personalised professional development pathways as we aim to shape school leaders of the future.
