Our School
Diamond Hall Junior School is a Co-educational County Junior School providing for the education of children from 7 years to 11 years. The school is not affiliated to any religious organisations.
School Ethos
Diamond Hall Junior School is a safe, positive, stimulating, challenging and happy environment. We believe the development of the whole child is paramount and their work is valued and celebrated. Children, staff, governors, parents and wider community work co-operatively in close partnership to attain high standards. Each child should be empowered to encourage to think critically, creatively and independently to face the challenges of the future with confidence. All individuals are of equal worth. Mutual respect and a readiness to support and care for the environment underpins the ethos of the school.
Aims of the School
Our main aims are to achieve the highest possible standards in all areas for each individual pupil. Through a broad and balanced curriculum we seek to promote the spiritual, social, moral, cultural, intellectual and physical development of children in order to prepare them for all future opportunities and experiences in life.
