Curriculum
Small class sizes enable Dolphin School to know each child exceptionally well, allowing teachers to provide personalised support and challenge so every pupil can flourish academically, socially and emotionally while developing a love of learning. English and mathematics are at the heart of the curriculum, complemented by a broad range of subjects. Specialist teaching, leadership opportunities, educational visits, residential trips and a wide range of clubs enrich learning.
Sport & The Arts
Pupils enjoy specialist teaching in drama, music, art, design technology and other creative disciplines, with many opportunities to perform and exhibit their work. A wide range of sports, including football, rugby, hockey, netball, cricket, dance and athletics, are supported by expert coaching, competitive fixtures and extensive enrichment clubs.
Pastoral Care
Character development is central to a Dolphin education. From nursery to year six, pupils grow in confidence, resilience, kindness and integrity. Known for their warmth and willingness to give things a go, they care for others, contribute positively to their community and leave Dolphin ready to make a positive difference in the world. Dolphin nurtures confident, curious and compassionate young people.
