The school will be closed on Monday 19 September as a mark of respect on the day of Her Majesty The Queen's funeral.

Dolton Church of England School is set within the picturesque village of Dolton in North Devon. Dolton is a medium-sized village located between Beaford, Winkleigh and Merton and is just a short drive from Hatherleigh, Torrington and Okehampton.

 

We are a small village school that take children from 2 - 11 years old.  All our pupils are supported by our teachers as individuals to grow to be inspiring changemakers in a caring, family and community-centred rural environment. Our C360 curriculum offers an opportunity for children to explore their own talents as well as learn new skills. This is laid out within our four cornerstones; 

 

   *   Academic (Wisdom, Knowledge and Skills) 

   *   Character (Hope, aspiration and courageous Advocacy

   *   Community (and living well together, dignity and respect) 

   *   Innovation 

 

The school aims to serve its communities by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers its pupils.

 

‘Let your roots grow down into him and let your lives be built on him.’

Colossians 2:7 

 

Primary School sets the foundation for lifelong learning and we strive to ensure that when children leave our setting to move onto secondary school they already have the tools to be courageous advocates for their own, their communities and the world's future.

Our People - Daniel Bashford - The Clinton C of E School and Dolton Church of England School - KS2 TeacherI have been at Dolton since September 2023. I currently teach the whole of Key Stage 2 from both Dolton and The Clinton schools. I also lead on subjects such as English, PE, music and D&T. Prior to training to be a teacher I was an outdoor instructor, where I worked in centres across Britain and the world, I was fortunate enough to work in some amazing places such as North Wales, Australia and New Zealand. Through my travels and work teaching children outside, I try to bring as much real-world and practical knowledge into the classroom as possible. I am passionate about delivering the best education for all the children that I teach and ensure that each one reaches their potential. Outside of school, I enjoy spending as much time outside as possible, either walking my two dogs with my wife and one-year-old or out running on roads and trails all over North Devon. My character strengths are humour, leadership and love of learning, which I try to demonstrate to the children every day. ... See MoreSee Less

Little Otters have been busy playing and exploring some Traditional Stories. Traditional Stories help us to develop our imaginations and add to our vocabulary. We have been thinking about the choices that the characters make in our stories and whether these are good or bad.This week we have started to look at the story of the Great Race and the celebrations that take place at the Lunar New Year. We will be thinking about what is similar to some of the other celebrations we know about, and what is different. We are explorers and active learners, creative and critical thinkers, Carers of our word and relationship builders. We currently have space for children over 2 in our Nursery setting in the heart of Dolton. Why not come along for a visit and see what we have to offer. Little Otters Nursery is open Monday to Wednesday 9am until 3pm term time. ... See MoreSee Less
