Dawley Brook Primary School is a one-form entry community primary school with a strong reputation for inclusion, care and high expectations. Working in partnership with our small but supportive community, we take collective responsibility for the success we expect of all stakeholders. Our most recent Ofsted inspection (March 2024) highlighted that governors and staff share high expectations, and pupils become confident, motivated learners, prepared for their next schools and the challenges beyond. In September 2023, we opened our Oak Tree SEND Unit, a Local Authority commissioned specialist resource provision for children with Education, Health and Care Plans. The highly inclusive culture is one of our standout features.
