On track for excellence

At Dursley CE Primary Academy, we are committed to providing high-quality teaching that enables every child to flourish academically, socially and emotionally. Our Teaching and Learning Policy sets out the principles and approaches that underpin excellent classroom practice across the school.

​

Our curriculum is carefully planned to be ambitious, engaging and inclusive, ensuring that all children develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to succeed. Teachers use clear explanations, purposeful questioning, modelling, practice and feedback to support pupils in making strong progress. Through a consistent approach to teaching and learning, we create classrooms where children feel safe, valued and challenged.

​

We believe that every child can achieve. Guided by our vision, "Together we shine brightly and together we make a difference," we foster high expectations, positive relationships and a love of learning. Our teaching approaches are informed by educational research and are designed to help children become confident, independent and resilient learners.

Through effective teaching, strong relationships and a rich curriculum, we aim to ensure that every child leaves Dursley ready for the next stage of their educational journey and equipped to make a positive contribution to the world around them.
