Pupils enjoy their time at Dollis Primary School. They form positive relationships with staff and have confidence that they will resolve any concerns that may arise. This helps to create a kind, respectful and friendly environment in which pupils feel, and are kept, safe. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils. The curriculum is broad and balanced and typically helps pupils to develop a depth of knowledge in different subjects. However, in some subjects, pupils’ understanding is not checked carefully. This leads to some gaps in pupils’ learning that persist over time. Pupils are encouraged to reflect on their ‘north star’, identifying their ambitions and goals for the future. This underpins the vision of ‘excellence in all we do’. Pupils value the weekly ‘Gold Star’ assembly where those who have demonstrated respect to others are recognised and celebrated. Pupils enjoy the visits that enrich the curriculum. For example, pupils have attended outings to Kew Gardens, the Tower of London and the Science Museum. Pupils access a range of additional activities, including dodgeball, cricket and tennis, where they can extend and develop their talents and interests.
