Dunalley Primary School

This is a very wonderful school. Every staff member at this school was friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. The child felt very comfortable and calm there. The teachers are wonderful. We are sincerely grateful to everyone who works at this school and does so much for our children. From me and my son, 5 stars Dunalley Primary school and to anyone who doubts, I definitely recommend it.

There is an ever growing group of parents who are victims of bullying by someone senior.

Complaints are not upheld ( even in the face of irrefutable evidence), governors are receiving a number of similar complaints and are aware of lies, cover-ups, parents being bullied and silenced and are standing by the perpetrator.

Senior leaders in the local authority are also aware.

The truth will out. It’s only a matter of time.

The victims are finding each other and all have similar stories. There’s power in numbers.

Very poor and manipulative management, the head is missing. Lots of safeguarding issues ignored and kids general well being is not important at all. Would not recommend, despite the lovely teachers.

If you want a good education and range of experiences then that’s covered. Can’t fault that. Would rate education highly. Teachers are lovely. Range of clubs and sporting activities excellent too.

However…..
communication is very very poor.
Headteacher isn’t present really. Deputy the same. They have no relationship with parents.
No photos of staff on website. We literally have no clue who is who in terms of staff.

I would rate education as excellent. But don’t expect the normal extras like Christmas performances or class assemblies or Christmas fayre. It’s education only!! I believe they had this kind of thing under the old head. Parents have informed me she was lovely.

I think teaching staff are lovely and the range of experiences they provide is excellent. I feel the school is good because of the teachers despite no visible leadership At all. You could go there 7 years and never ever meet the headteacher or other leaders at all!!!! They hide!!! If they were passionate about their job they’d come out of hiding!

I feel a head and other leaders with some passion and a desire to have a relationship with parents could really make the school. But teachers are lovely.
Thankfully the teachers don’t follow the example of the senior leaders.

Different leadership please but everything else is great!
