We are enormously proud of the way our school was reflected in our most recent inspection:

The Damers way of being, ‘brave, unique, caring and kind’, is the heartbeat of this inclusive school. Pupils know how this vision, alongside the school values, makes the school a happy place to be. Pupils enjoy coming to Damers and this is reflected in their high attendance. Staff build warm relationships with pupils so that they feel well looked after and confident that staff will help if they have any worries or concerns.

The school has designed a broad and ambitious curriculum. Staff have high expectations of what they want pupils to learn to prepare them well for their next stage. Pupils rise to these expectations and learn the curriculum successfully. They behave well and show respect towards others. They are enthusiastic about their learning and want to be successful. This starts in the early years where children are proud to share what they know about the world around them.

The school has carefully considered the wider curriculum for pupils. For example, a focus on sustainability and community is woven through the curriculum design. Pupils are proud of the difference they make both in school and beyond.
