Welcome to Dishforth Church of England

Primary School and Nursery

Welcome to our small, friendly Church of England school, situated in the heart of the village of Dishforth in North Yorkshire. We are well-resourced and offer wonderful grounds, an enthusiastic and dedicated teaching staff, high quality teaching and learning opportunities and excellent pastoral care.

We are committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment in which children will be happy, enjoy learning, and develop positive relationships with others. We work hard every day to encourage and support children to achieve their full potential and develop a life-long passion for learning.

Our recent Ofsted report in December 2024 commented on our “overwhelming family ethos” and that “the nurturing environment means that pupils love to come to school.”

Our Christian ethos and values are very important to us and we strive to make our school a welcoming, open and friendly environment to work and play in, where the views of all members of the school community are valued. We are ‘rooted and grounded in love’ Ephesians 3:17.

This website aims to give you an overview and useful information about our school, but visitors are always welcome. If you would like to find out more about us, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office. We would be delighted to welcome you into our school community.
