Tiptoe Primary School

Durlston Court Preparatory School Learning without limits

A t Tiptoe we believe that at- tending school should be an enjoyable experience for children. We recognise that happi- er children achieve more. We provide a happy, stimulat- ing environment, where children are eager to learn because they feel involved, interested and can see a purpose for their work. They should be challenged whilst be- ing given plenty of opportunities to have fun whilst learning. The school is committed to providing a full and balanced curriculum which encourages children to enjoy their learning and develop positive at- titudes about themselves whilst caring for others. Our expecta- tions of children are high. We expect excellent behaviour and a high level of independence and self-confidence. It is our aim to create enthusiastic learners who look forward to coming to school and relish challenge. All children will be respected as individuals, given equal opportu- nities and be encouraged to treat

others in the same way. At Tiptoe we provide a creative learning envi- ronment by focussing on co-oper- ation between children and adults within school, as well as forging relationships with the wider com- munity. This enables the children

to learn new skills, communicate effectively and solve problems. Children will be given many oppor- tunities to succeed and develop high self-esteem, independence and ambition to achieve potential and gain life skills for their future.

A t Durlston Court we pride ourselves on our ‘Learning Without Lim- its’ philosophy in all aspects of school life, from academic work to the performing arts, sport and beyond. Our small class sizes allow us to really get to know the children well and to provide them with in- dividual challenges in all areas of the curriculum that will allow them to make progress and to thrive. Durlston children are happy children; chil- dren who love coming to school to continue on their learning journey. 

children really relish their school experience.  At all times we fully prepare our children for life beyond Durlston. Last year all our Year 8 leavers were successfully awarded plac- es to their first choice of Senior School, maintaining the Durlston high standards for Academic and all-round education. 8 pupils were awarded scholarships for academ- ics, sport, dance, performance and as all-rounders.   Another family commented “we are so lucky to be a part of the Durlston family, and we feel that now more than ever.”

Our curriculum is engaging, ac- tive, fun and focused on develop- ing the core skills children need to go onto the next stage of their learning. We are also real advo- cates of outdoor learning and have invested in our extensive grounds to ensure learning outdoors is creative, challenging and adven- turous. We encourage children to develop a growth mindset. Life is a series of challenges and oppor- tunities and we teach the children to take risks, persevere and learn from their mistakes. We recognise the diverse and rapidly changing world we live in so we help the children to respect, understand and make a positive contribution to society and chal-
