Dormers Wells Junior School

[EduCativ]

Dormers Wells Junior is a large, multicultural school in Southall for pupils aged 7 – 11. We have three classes in each year group and can accommodate up to 412 pupils. We have close links and share our site with Dormers Wells Infant School and are also located close to Dormers Wells High School and Dormers Wells Sports Centre (where the children go swimming).
There is a long-standing tradition of sporting excellence. This is supported by specialist teaching of physical education and a range of extra-curricular clubs. We are part of the Dormers Wells Family within the Featherstone School Sports Partnership and have several sports teams who actively represent the school at inter-borough competitions.
Our vision is to provide a happy, caring, and stimulating environment where children will achieve their fullest potential so that they can make their best contribution to society. Our vision for Dormers Wells Junior School reflects a passionate commitment to learning and recognition of the uniqueness of individual learners. It is driven by our desire to offer the best possible education for our pupils in partnership with our parents and the local community.
We believe our approach will inspire a love of learning and unlock the potential that lies within all of our children, preparing them to be happy, successful, and responsible citizens in the future. Our aims and vision are designed to fulfill Article 6 from the UNICEF Charter of the Rights of the Child which states that We have to do all we can to ensure that children survive and develop to their full potential. Our children and families come from all over the world and more than 30 languages are spoken. Our commitment is to ensure that all our pupils share one language and one goal-to be the very best.
At DWJS we plan different cross-curricular projects for each school term. We try to make as many links across different subjects as possible. Listed below are the main objectives that will be learned. You can use these to guide additional research and visits at home as this will support your child’s learning and understanding.
The government provides additional funding per annum for primary schools that qualify, to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sports. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - will be allocated to primary school headteachers. The money must be used to improve the provision of P.E. and school sport.
The purpose of this grant is to fund improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of pupils aged 5-11 years old, in the 2016/17 academic year so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles. This has recently been extended until 2020.
P.E. and school sport, play a very important part in the life of the Dormers Wells pupil. We are proud of our sporting reputation at this school and we want to improve and enhance provision for the subject with this money. We believe that P.E. and school sport contribute to the holistic development of our children and, through participation, our children build and learn more about our key values such as respect, co-operation, and kindness for themselves and others.
