The schools and nurseries within the Dean Close Foundation share a vision and values. At the same time, each school and nursery has its own character and 'feel' and we celebrate their individuality alongside the sense of common purpose. The Dean Close Foundation has one simple aim; to see every member of its community flourish. The community of friends and supporters of the Foundation is wide and wonderfully diverse; we are fortunate to have a wealth of highly supportive alumni, former staff and parents who remain loyal and committed to supporting us long after they have moved on themselves. We aim to provide opportunities for these friends to stay in touch with the schools and with one another, recognising that this sense of identity and belonging is a vital part of human flourishing.
