The Dawnay School
The Dawnay Primary School has 206 children on roll from 4 to 11 years old, and is situated in the heart of Bookham village. It is a large site with 2 halls, 3 playgrounds, a large field, allotment, polytunnel and forest area.
We are passionate about education with our PRIDE values underpinning everything that we do:-
* Positive attitudes
* Respect for others
* Independence of thought and action
* Difference & diversity are celebrated
* Excellence in all we do
We have an emphasis on working hard as a team, challenging ourselves, whilst placing the children at the heart of everything we do.
Every day we encourage the children to work hard, have a positive growth mind-set, have the confidence to make mistakes, persevere and not give up, in order to succeed, and so feel good about themselves.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, enriched with visits, events and activities to inspire each child’s learning. We are very proud of all our children, their progress and all that they achieve under the guidance and care of our dedicated, talented and friendly staff team.
We look forward to warmly welcoming you to share our vision on a school tour.
