Our Aim

Throughout the periods of nationwide school partial closures announced by the government, as we always do when we are open to all pupils, staff at Dunnington CE Primary School have worked and continue to work to maintain the link between home and school. We recognise the importance of working together to safeguard all children during these unprecedented time.

This page is designed to ensure that all students and their parents have information and guidance to ensure children are kept as safe and have access to support whether they are attending school in person or learning remotely.
