Dulverton Junior School is based in the beautiful town of Dulverton in the Exmoor National Park.

It is the aim of our staff here that our children are happy and hard working. We like to make everyone at our school feel part of a caring, friendly and nurturing community.

Exmoor is a wonderful environment in which to spend your childhood. As in all other areas, school is key to the process of growing up into successful and healthy individuals, who can make a positive contribution to society.

We believe learning is best achieved when children are enthused, involved and feel a sense of achievement. A close partnership between parents, children and the school staff will give a child the best foundation for a good education.

We are very proud of our school and strive every day to offer our children a well-rounded education. We place great importance on preparing our children to be active members of society, to have a passion for learning new things and to care for the people and world around them.

Once again I hope you enjoy reading about and possibly visiting the school in the very near future.
