On behalf of our wonderful children, dedicated staff and supportive Governors, I am thrilled to extend a heartfelt welcome to you. Nestled in the picturesque West Dorset countryside, our small village school is a place where every child is cherished and inspired to reach their full potential.

At Powerstock, we pride ourselves on creating a nurturing family atmosphere. Here, every child is encouraged to develop a love of learning and to be the best they can be. Our decisions are always guided by what is in the best interest of our pupils, ensuring they are at the heart of everything we do.

Our ambitious curriculum is designed to be coherent, ensuring that every child achieves their full potential and gains the confidence to succeed. We focus on providing a well-rounded education that fosters academic excellence, creativity and personal growth. Our curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of each child, helping them to develop the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Our school is a unique, creative and ambitious environment. We believe in energising learning and fostering an enquiring mind, a thirst for knowledge and high personal expectations. Respect, compassion, perseverance, and generosity are the values we live by every day. We encourage our pupils to reflect on their beliefs and develop the courage to advocate for what they believe in.

We understand that strong self-esteem is crucial for our children to lead happy and successful lives. Our goal is to ensure that our pupils leave us as caring, confident and adaptable young people, equipped with excellent academic skills, a passion for lifelong learning and outstanding social abilities.

What makes Powerstock truly special is our unique combination of features that create a wonderful learning environment. We believe in the power of partnership, where teachers and parents work together to achieve the very best for every child. This collaboration results in children who are proud of their work, their achievements and their school.
