'Where every child is known and valued'
|
Welcome to the
Ditcham
Park School
web site. I hope that the images and text will give you a glimpse
and feel for the ethos and activities at this successful independent school.
At
Ditcham
Park , both staff and pupils know
each other individually. This is achieved by having small classes, and a
total of 340 pupils aged 4 to 16years in the junior and senior sections of
the school. In all aspects of school life there is care, concern and close
support for every child, so that they gain confidence, explore a breadth of
experience and achieve their potential. Excellent pastoral care is one of
the school's strengths.
Ditcham
Park also has a strong sense of
community, which is helped by the close contact between home and school. A
friendly, "family" feel pervades the school.
Pupils and staff expect, and aim
towards, achieving high academic results, and in recent years, approximately
half of all GCSE grades have been at A*/A and approx 95% of Ditcham's pupils have
gained 5+, A*-C grades. In addition, pupils are expected to take part in a
full and varied range of extra curricular activities in art, music, drama,
sport, ICT and community service. These activities are mainly timetabled
during the school day.
Ditcham
Park has a justifiable reputation for its
friendly, caring, family atmosphere, and for its beautiful location and
views over the South Downs . These are aspects of the
school that can only be fully appreciated during a visit. I would encourage
you to come and look around on a personal, guided tour.
