A very warm welcome to Dunlop Primary School and Early Childhood Centre.

Please enjoy our school website where you will find a host of information using the tabs above.

Dunlop Primary School and ECC is situated in a picturesque building, built in 1931, in the heart of the rural community of Dunlop. We have a strong partnership with our families and local community supported by parents, carers and our Parent Council.

Dunlop is steeped in history and our school badge incorporates our local history including Dunlop Hill, Clerkland Cheese Dairy and our farming heritage. Our school houses of Clerkland, Glazert, and Lugton were named after local areas to the village.

Our school motto of ‘Climb That Hill’ encourages all pupils to always rise to every challenge.

In September 2019, our Pupil Council consulted with pupils, parents, staff, and stakeholders to agree our school values. It was agreed, the four most important values for the children and pupils of Dunlop Primary School & ECC are for us to be:

Happy        Kind         Respectful       Honest

Our school values play an important role within our school; staff and pupils alike strive to demonstrate these each day through our learning and practice.

Our aim is to provide in partnership with parents/carers, a well-balanced curriculum that will enable each child to reach their full potential and develop their talents. We hope to create in all children a positive attitude to learning, the ability to co-operate with others, to make reasonable moral judgements and to have a caring attitude to the community as well as fostering an appreciation of the world in which we live. We intend to support our children and young people gain the knowledge, skills, attributes and capabilities they will need to be successful in life in the 21st century, including developing skills for learning, life and work.
