Dent CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School | Ofsted Ratings, Reviews, Exam Results & Admission 2026

We are a thriving and compassionate rural primary school that collaborates with the entire community to create a stimulating and supportive environment where all students can succeed.
Every kid is encouraged to fulfil their potential because Christian ideals are at the core of all we do.
We want to provide our kids with the best education possible so they can assist the community both locally and worldwide while also deepening their understanding of Christian principles.
Extremist beliefs of any kind, whether they come from students, staff, adults who visit, governors, or other internal sources, have no place in our school.
Every time a student, member of staff, visitor, or parent exhibits prejudice, discrimination, or extremist ideas, including the use of insulting language, it will be challenged and, when necessary, dealt with.
Other staff members' misconduct will be dealt with in accordance with standard school disciplinary practises.
The core British principles of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, respect for one another, and tolerance of people of other religions and views are things we try to instil in our students.
When political matters are brought to the notice of the students, we make sure that no partisan political views are promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school and that, where practically practical, attempts are taken to provide a fair presentation of opposing perspectives to students.
