The curriculum at Dussindale is designed to provide an inclusive, broad and balanced education that meets the needs of all children and gives them the skills, knowledge and understanding which will enable them to flourish so they can reach their full potential. Our ambitious curriculum has been designed to take account of the legal requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and the Primary National Curriculum.
