Values and vision
Dolphin School believes in understanding each pupil as an individual and wants to learn about the strengths, weaknesses, fears and concerns of each child. It hopes that in doing so, teachers will be able to offer personalised learning to suit each child’s character. It has small classes in order to do this. The school’s motto is: Love Wisdom Truth and the values of joy, nurture, success and relationships are at its heart. Dolphin School believes that mistakes lead to learning and that children shouldn’t be pressured, but rather learn at an incremental, attainable pace. Happiness when learning is at the heart of the school's vision, with the belief that children work best when they are at ease. A range of extra-curricular clubs are organised by the school to help encourage children to develop new skills and interests.
Independent School Inspectorate
“The pupil’s personal development is excellent, reflecting the values expressed in the school’s aims. In the EYFS, children share and co-operate well. As they mature, their behavior towards one another is characterized by courtesy and kindness. They have excellent opportunities for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.”
