Headteacher's Welcome
Every day at St Dunstan's, we are encouraged to live our Mission Statement:
As we grow with God, we learn from each other.
St Dunstan’s Catholic School is a successful Catholic school, with a strong reputation in the local area. We are a faith school in the heart of Kings Heath that holds the gospel values at the centre of all that we do. We belong to the parish of St Dunstan and St Jude, and we are a proud feeder school to Bishop Challoner Catholic College, with whom we share a campus. We have high expectations and aspirations for all our pupils, whose behaviour is excellent.
Our aim is to give a complete education to all our children and to educate the whole child. By fostering a knowledge of God and a real love of learning, we ensure the best possible outcomes in terms of progress and attainment for every pupil.
We are extremely fortunate to have a highly committed and skilled staff who share the common aim of wanting to give every child the best possible start in life. Not only do we strive to achieve the highest level in literacy, numeracy and all-round education, but we also work hard to ensure children feel safe and happy and contribute to our excellent standards of behaviour.
Our success is down to the hard work, care and determination of our wonderful teaching and support staff and the close partnership formed between our parents and our school. The school has a very talented, innovative and dedicated staff who are keen to continue learning and developing the quality of our provision. We are also blessed to enjoy exceptional facilities. Our classrooms are large and airy with air conditioning; a purpose-built early years unit, a MUGA and the children's favourite - our new jungle library!
We hold a firm belief in giving each child every opportunity to learn and succeed in all that they do. Our curriculum is well-planned and sequenced to meet the needs of all our pupils.
My family have been fortunate to have enjoyed a long and happy association with St Dunstan's Catholic School. This is the school we chose for our children, and I hope all our current and future pupils are as happy here as my children were.
