Dent is a small village in the Yorkshire Dales, although actually in the county of Cumbria. Dentdale is on the far western side of the Dales, only 10 miles from the M6 motorway. The school has 43 children in three classes, aged 4 to 11, many travelling into the village (known locally as 'Dent Town') by minibus or car from up or down the dale.


AIMS: "We at Dent Church of England Primary School aim to create a safe, friendly, caring, stimulating atmosphere where every child has the opportunity to develop their full potential.
This can be achieved by offering the highest standards of teaching, resources and support in a school, which is the focal point of our community.
We believe in a partnership with all those in the community who work and support the school including parents, staff, governors, friends and the Church".

EXTENDED SERVICES & SCHOOLS UPDATE (October 2007)
 

A “cluster” of schools in Dent, Kirkby Lonsdale and Sedbergh are working together to improve the quality of life for children and young people, their families and their communities through the delivery of extended services. Schools in the cluster are Dent CE Primary School, St Mary’s CE Primary School in Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh Primary School, Queen Elizabeth School and Settlebeck High School, Sedbergh. Research shows that extended schools improve children's lives, boost their attainment and place schools at the heart of their communities.
 
Representatives from schools and partner organisations in the community, kindly hosted by Casterton Preparatory School, met to identify key issues and priorities to work on together across the cluster to strengthen services for children & families:
 
 

  • Family Learning & Family Support

  • A ‘Safe Place to Be’ for 11 – 16 year olds

  • Including Excluded Young People

  • After School Activities for Young People

  • Information about Services for Children, Young People & Families

  •  Funding

 
The first "cluster" workshop for community partners and schools will focus on Family Learning, aiming to share practice and to promote local initiatives that involve children and families learning together.
