"Excellent start to secondary school"

My child has settled in well to Dinnington High School and is enjoying the variety of subjects on offer. The school's emphasis on responsibility, respect, and resilience is really resonating with them. I've been impressed with the extracurricular activities available, such as the sports teams and music club. Overall, a great first year!

"Best school for my child!"

I've been impressed with the facilities at Dinnington High School - the sports hall and theatre are amazing. The teachers and staff are also very supportive and encouraging. My child has grown so much since starting here and is developing into a responsible and respectful young person, embodying the Dinnington Way. I couldn't be happier with their progress!

"Some good, some room for improvement"

My child attended Dinnington High School a few years ago. While the school has some excellent facilities and a strong focus on the Dinnington Way, I felt that the teaching could be more engaging at times. The school also seemed to place a lot of emphasis on behaviour and discipline, which sometimes felt a bit too strict. That being said, my child did well academically and made some great friends, so it's not all bad!
