Welcome to DCPS

                                                                                                                                                           

It is with a very real sense of pride and privilege that I introduce you to DCPS.
 
Choosing a school has many parallels to buying a house. One immediately knows when viewing a new property if it feels right, if you could make it your home. It is the same with any school, you know quickly if it is where you would wish you and your child to belong.
 
I stress, you and your child, because at DCPS we enter into a contract with you and your family to do the best we can to nurture and grow your child’s ambitions...and at DCPS there is no limit to ambition!
 
The Nursery provides our boys and girls with the perfect springboard to learning.
 
From Reception through to Year 8 we provide our boys with unparalleled opportunity.
 
Your son will be allowed to be creative, to take academic risks and he will be supported in doing so. He will develop an intellectual curiosity, a thirst for new knowledge and skills, a healthy rigour for independent study and a compassion and respect for others. He will be encouraged to reflect on his learning, to think critically and take responsibility. He will learn the essence of team work.
 
He will have fun and he will be inspired to contribute, often excel, in academic studies, the arts, music, sports and a host of other activities. 
 
DCPS is a school in terrific heart, buoyed by individual and collective success and we are building on that success. We seek to lead; we seek to open new avenues to learning and teaching, and in so doing, we know we will secure the confidence, happiness and future well-being of our pupils. These are exciting times.
 
Enjoy browsing our website and then come and visit and see if DCPS is where you wish your child to belong...a warm welcome awaits.
