School Aims
Dolton (VA) Primary School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided School and was founded in 1854. We have a close relationship with St Edmund's Church and are grateful for the help and support given by the Church. As a Christian school, the values of Christianity are stressed. We try to provide all our children with an excellent standard of education and to meet with Christian values and attitudes, which we hope they will find relevant in our multi-cultural world, whilst they are acquiring knowledge. With this in mind, all the staff and Governors work to achieve the following aims: Back to top
We aim to:
* To provide a broad Christian Education at the highest standards across all aspects
of the National Curriculum

* To enable the child to become spiritually aware and to develop both a sense of

as full members of society
