Dussindale Primary School

Dussindale Primary School opened its doors for the first time in September 2007. A year later there are 115 pupils in the school from reception to years 2/​3, and this number will continue to grow until the school has all years from reception to year 6.
The building is a fantastic purpose built structure on two levels designed to look a bit like a boat which highlights the vision of the school that the children should be on a ‘voyage of discovery’.
As you would expect it has all the latest in technology and ICT equipment in the classrooms, as well as a separate computer suite. The hall is used for school dinners and assemblies as well as for PE with it’s excellent gymnastic equipment. There’s a lovely new library which is well-​stocked and a cookery room. It even has an outside circular classroom on the top floor with a ‘sail-​like’ canvas covering.
Also outside there is an all-​weather sports pitch (muga-​pitch), grassy areas, a wildlife garden and pond which is still underdevelopment and several play grounds, one of which has an ‘amphitheatre’ for lessons and shows.
It certainly looks the business but of course has yet to prove itself. Certainly the staff are lovely and seem dedicated and I’m pleased with the progress my child is making at the school and she’s very happy there. They aim to make every child ‘the best I can be’ and I wish them well with this!
