From the St Dennis Primary Academy
At St. Dennis Primary Academy, we firmly believe that children learn at their highest levels when they are content, secure, and involved. We take delight in developing each child and recognising them as unique individuals with unique skills and abilities. Our kids are happier, feel good about themselves, and like going to school as a result. Since relationships are crucial to this, we value cooperating with our families and the neighbourhood. Every moment counts, everyone matters, and everyone achieves. This shows that everyone in the school community—students, staff, and families—is significant and that by working together, everyone can succeed. It also serves as a reminder that we are always learning throughout the school day and in a variety of ways. Learning about social, moral, spiritual, and cultural issues permeates every part of educational life. A tough and comprehensive curriculum is used to teach students in an engaging environment. Children who develop resilience, confidence, and independence have the character attributes needed for lifelong learning. Each child realises their full potential, and their unique talents and accomplishments are praised. To broaden knowledge and understanding, a variety of extracurricular activities, sporting events, arts and music experiences, visits from visitors, and residentials are organised. Empathy, tolerance, and responsibility for the world we live in are encouraged by participation and engagement in the local, larger, and global society. Children can make good progress on their learning journey by cooperating and sharing with their parents and carers.
