Mission Statement

"Our teachers are kind and know how to take a joke! They don't put too much pressure on us and they handle things well in school." Year 6 Pupil - Pupil Voice Interview - June 2023

Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do.  They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, responsible, active and resilient citizens in modern Britain. Pupils enjoy and achieve success irrespective of ability, race or gender.

Goodly Dale is an inclusive and values based school that nurtures curiosity and creativity through an inspiring, broad and engaging curriculum where well-being, learning and the community are at the heart of everything we do.

Everyone is challenged and encouraged to achieve their best as individuals and to build friendships across our small school. Children are actively encouraged to become self-assured, tolerant and motivated to learn in a safe and friendly environment.
