From the Dartmouth Academy
Care underpins everything we do, and children thrive when they feel safe and secure. We take great delight in being at the centre of our neighbourhood. We help all students achieve future success and happiness via motivational instruction and individualised care. We believe in establishing enduring ties with students and their families as an all-through academy. We foster an ethos of empathy and understanding, with a caring pastoral system that seeks to support and involve families to help every child thrive. Respect, resilience and role-model: teachers at the Academy recognise their role as being instrumental to every child's development, not simply academically, but also as a person. We encourage independent learning abilities such as open minds, the capacity for self-reflection, and peer collaboration from the moment students enter our Early Years Foundation Stage. Students receive coaching on how to reflect and maximise their learning capacity. We have a motto that encourages academic success as a reflection of students' effort rather than their aptitude. Act as your best self.
