Welcome to Powerstock CE VA Primary School, a small, busy and happy Church of England school nestled in the heart of the beautiful West Dorset countryside.

At Powerstock School, we cherish our unique ‘smallness’ and take pride in ensuring that every child is cared for and valued as an individual. Our school is built on the values of Compassion, Perseverance, Respect, and Generosity, which are at the core of everything we do.

Compassion: We foster a nurturing environment where every child feels supported and understood. Our dedicated staff are committed to the emotional and physical wellbeing of all our children, recognizing the importance of empathy and kindness in their development.

Perseverance: We set high standards in learning and teaching, encouraging children to continually improve by acquiring new skills and knowledge. We believe in the power of perseverance, helping our students to overcome challenges and achieve their personal best.

Respect: We instill a sense of respect in our students, teaching them to value themselves, others, and the world around them. Our curriculum promotes mutual respect and understanding, preparing children to become considerate and responsible members of society.

Generosity: We encourage our students to be generous in spirit, sharing their time, talents, and resources with others. Our school community thrives on the generosity of its members, fostering a culture of giving and support.

Our aim is for all our children to leave us as happy, confident, and independent individuals with a positive outlook on life, ready to take on their next challenges. 

We hope that you will find our website helpful as an introduction to our school. We are always happy to show visitors around and answer any questions you may have.
