Dene Academy, Peterlee: A Centre of Excellence
Dene Academy is a dynamic and vibrant school. Our Commitment to Excellence is clearly visible in every aspect of our work. At Dene, your child will receive the highest quality of education from a dedicated and talented staff team of whom we are incredibly proud. Staff have a genuine pride for our school and love nothing more than seeing our children succeed.
At Dene, we have five core values and these underpin our whole school ethos and curriculum. We believe that all of our students should demonstrate respect, be resilient, have high aspirations and work with integrity with one clear goal: to be happy. Furthermore, central to our ethos and values is the success of every student in the school and, for us, this means high quality teaching and learning are at the heart of everything we do, combined with exceptional pastoral care to meet the needs of every student.
As a school, we are dedicated to delivering a supportive, exciting and engaging curriculum providing opportunities for challenge, creativity and independent learning. We aim for our children to feel a sense of community, grow in confidence and to be proud of their achievements.
As well as encouraging a thirst for knowledge and a love of learning, we are keen to empower our children so that they are independent learners. Our aim is that all children should leave the school as highly qualified, self-reliant and articulate young adults. We are deeply dedicated to ensuring that our children have a rich and successful experience and we believe in equipping them with the skills, knowledge and confidence for the future.
From our students, we expect and insist upon the very highest standards: exemplary behaviour, manners and respect, commendable attitudes to learning, as well as an expectation that they are positive role models, within school and our wider community.
Dene is a successful school because we value the things that are important to you: an aspirational curriculum, exceptional teaching and learning and outstanding achievement. These are the guiding principles that will ensure that your child grows with us to become a well-qualified, well-rounded,respectful and aspirational young adult with the knowledge, skills and attitude to be successful in whichever direction life takes them.
