Dear Parents and Pupils

Welcome to Dunholme St Chad’s Church of England Primary School. Our website gives you a taste of the exciting things that happen at our school.

We are very proud of our school and its family ethos - underpinned by Christian values which were recognised in our outstanding Section 48 Inspection (January 2011).

We are particularly proud of our strong inclusive ethos “placing pupils at the heart of everything we do” Ofsted November 2010.

By choosing to come to our school you and your family will become part of a happy and caring community.  We are delighted the outstanding leadership and good provision in the Foundation Stage were highly praised in our Ofsted Inspection (November 2010) ensuring all pupils have a good start at Dunholme St Chad’s.  At St Chad’s each individual is valued and we work closely with families to ensure all pupils are supported to achieve their best.

We encourage and guide all of our pupils so they develop into mature, confident young people. The young people in our care have a range of opportunities to develop their interests and talents through an enriched curriculum and extra curricular activities.

Do spend a few moments browsing around our school website to see a sample of how we organise ourselves and what we do.  If you are new to the area, you are most welcome to contact the school to arrange a visit.  For our existing families we hope the website gives you another means of sharing and celebrating what we do.

We very much value our partnership with parents and the local community
