About Dulverton Primary School

Dulverton Primary School is a vibrant, happy and successful two form entry community school located in New

Eltham. Although we are ‘tucked away’ in a quiet residential area, we benefit from and make the most of our

spacious grounds.

Every member of our school community is valued and respected. We recognise that every child is unique and strive

to ensure that their academic, creative, social, physical and moral education is nurtured. We have high expectations

of the children and our high standards of behaviour and work reflect this. Our aim is for our children to leave school

at the end of Year 6 as ‘the very best versions of themselves’ that they can.

Safeguarding

Dulverton is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all

staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures in

place which promote safeguarding and safer working practice across the school.
