As always, Film Night proved to be a very popular event in the life of Dolphin School.  This year we reached capacity with 95 pupils staying to watch Smallfoot.

Helen Keller once said that, ‘alone we can do so little; together, we can do so much.’ Proof of that statement was overwhelmingly evident last Saturday at our first Prop and Set Building Party. The day was a marvellous mix of parents, staff and alumni dropping in to create. It was a buzz of problem…
