School Values
Courage, Compassion, Joy
Welcome to
I am delighted that you are interested in our lovely school.
We are very proud of what we do here. As a small village school, we believe we get to know all of our children as individuals and strive to bring out the best in each of them. We have high expectations of work and behaviour but, as well as working hard, we make sure our children have fun too. Our vision is to 'Feed the mind, nurture the spirit and free the imagination.' By offering the richest curriculum that we can, and inspiring a commitment to our values of courage, compassion and joy, we hope to ensure that our children are well prepared for whatever happens in their lives when they leave us.

Where to next?

To our wonderful Durweston family, Happy Christmas. We wish you all a wonderful restful break full of love, laughter and joy. We will look forward to seeing you back together in 2026!
Thank you to all our wonderful pre school and Starfish parents that came out in the aweful weather to experience our amazing children singing and for some time to embrace the glitter and get crafting with us - we had a wonderful time Happy Christmas #christmas #eyfs #Durweston
Local Food Links Christmas dinner enjoyed by everyone here today! Including the staff who managed to sit down and enjoy the meal too! Wonderful festive spirit through singing, making Christmas hats and being together. So much wonderful joy in one room - when the elves appeared things definitely took a turn! A huge thank you to our PTA who funded everyone being able to have a meal! What an amazing gift! #Durweston #christmaslunch #ChristmasJumperDay
Who can spot our very cheeky elves that turned up for our very special Christmas lunch today! They caused lots of mischief but in the end it turned out worth it when they delivered presents for each class. #Durweston #elves Local Food Links
A huge well done to our Year 5/6 swim team who came an incredible 3rd place in the swimming gala on Monday at Bryanston School as part of the BSN sports fixtures. They competed in individual and relay races and we are incredibly proud of how they participated! You represented our school and showed our values incredibly well! Well done to the Pimperne Primary team who came first and to all the others that competed! #swimminggala #Bryanston #Durweston

A huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers for bringing together a wonderful Christmas Fair From the stalls, to the elves, to the craft activities and food a wonderful time was had by all! A huge thank you to all! #christmasfair #blandford #school
Our lanterns were so much fun to create but the weather has sadly not supported them being celebrated in the way we had hoped during the Yuletide festival. If you did manage to get there we hope you enjoyed yourselves. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend #lanterns #yuletidefestival #blandford
