From the Dulverton Junior School
We would like to extend a sincere welcome to our school and thank you for taking the time to visit our school website on behalf of all the students, teachers, and governors. As a child, parent, or site visitor, we are confident that you will find all the information you require. Our staff here wants to see our kids succeed and have a good time. At our school, we strive to create a sense of belonging for each and every student. Childhood can be spent in a magnificent place like Exmoor. As in all other areas, education is essential for children to develop into successful, healthy adults who can contribute positively to society. We think that children learn best when they are enthusiastic, engaged, and have a feeling of accomplishment. A child will have the finest foundation for a strong education if parents, kids, and the school personnel work closely together. We work hard every day to provide our kids with a well-rounded education because we are extremely proud of our school. We place great importance on preparing our children to be active members of society, to have a passion for learning new things and to care for the people and world around them. I once more wish you well as you read about the school and, perhaps, visit it soon.
