From the Dronfield Junior School
Every facet of a child's development, including their health, safety, and achievement, is supported at Dronfield Junior School.
We work hard to make sure that our kids are content, and as they get older, we encourage them to realise their potential while preparing and empowering them to live secure, contented, healthy, and productive lives in contemporary British society.
Our first objective is to give all of our students engaging, high-quality instruction that is both demanding and engaging, so that they can all pursue success in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in all other facets of school life.
Children who are content and self-assured make the most of their education and continue to be inspired to learn throughout their lives, in our opinion.
We believe that a child's education should emphasise teaching them our essential values, which include self-discipline, decency, respect, honesty, and excellent manners.
The effects of these values are evident in our school's daily operations.
Encourage a welcoming and pleasant environment within a supportive school community so that a child's self-esteem and respect for others can grow.
Encourage respect for moral and religious principles, tolerance of people of all races, religions, and lifestyles, and an awareness of the interconnectedness of people from different backgrounds and countries.
No matter their colour, gender, family origin, abilities, or disabilities, all children should have equal access to opportunities, rights, and responsibilities.
Recognize and encourage the collaboration between kids, parents, and schools in our students' education.
