The Curriculum
Smaller class sizes enable Dolphin School to get to know its children extremely well, so that teachers can not only set specific and individualised academic targets, but also discover how they learn best. English and maths are prioritised, but the school offers a holistic programme including science, geography, history, Spanish, computing, gardening and a vast array of extracurricular activities, clubs and outings.
Sport & The Arts
Pupils are trained in the arts (drama, music, painting, drawing, clay and DT) with specialist teaching and a plethora of performing and exhibiting opportunities. Children are also coached in a wide range of sports (football, tag rugby, hockey, netball, cricket, dance, athletics and cross-country running) through dynamic teaching and a superb fixture list.
Pastoral Care
Dolphin School is committed to giving time and care to growing children’s character on their journey from nursery to year six. Dolphin children are known to be caring, compassionate, supportive, funny, ambitious, ‘give it a go’ people who value integrity and truth and go the extra mile to inspire others to achieve.
Exit Schools
Leavers go on to top schools including Alleyn’s, Dulwich College, Emanuel, Epsom College, Francis Holland, Ibstock Place, JAGS, Kew House, King’s College, Royal Russell, St John’s, Radleigh, Streatham and Claphan High, Trinity, Whitgift and Woldingham.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
To value children for who they are and to appreciate that they have different intelligences that need opportunities to be developed. This is necessary if we want children to be the best they can be, whether academically, artistically, in sport or as people.
