No two people are the same; in beliefs, abilities, age, ethnicity, gender and background; all these qualities contribute to our uniqueness. At Dean Close pupils arrive at different times in their lives, each with their own story and distinct personality. It is the Dean Close community’s belief that everyone has the right to fulfil their potential, no matter where that potential is found. It is a foundational principle at Dean Close that every pupil is equally valuable, and that it is our role as educators to help them find their gifts and to give them the inspiration, encouragement and expert input to enable them to shine. The award is a wonderful way to give public recognition for the extraordinary, and usually invisible efforts every pupil and member of staff make to create this remarkable community.
SoGlos said of the School, “Dean Close School is thriving, vibrant and progressive, renowned for focusing on individual development and helping to nurture each child’s strengths. The School is clearly loved by many SoGlos readers who showed their support with hundreds of votes!”
Thank you to everyone in the Dean Close Community and the SoGlos readers for voting for us for the second year in a row.
