Headteacher’s welcome
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to TDMS, part of Four Stones Gateway Trust. At TDMS we are ambitious and welcoming; our aim is to deliver excellence in all areas beginning with high quality teaching and exceptional pastoral care. We both support and challenge every child from Year 6 to Year 13 to leave our school with strong academic qualifications, a varied collection of extra-curricular experiences and clear values that will steer them through to long term success. We are proud to have been finalists in the Worcestershire ‘School of the Year’ award for the last two academic years.
“Pupils are proud of their school; they know they are cared for.
They feel safe and happy in school. Pupils are specifically taught ‘The TDMS Way’.
They talk about this positively and understand the high expectations of the school.”
Ofsted ‘Good’, 2023
‘The TDMS Way’ encapsulates our shared values of Ambition, Commitment, Creativity, and Integrity and asks that everyone in our school community – both staff and students – show us their best. This means being ambitious in their thinking, resilient in the classroom, hardworking in all tasks and gritty in the face of everyday challenge.
We are proud to be part of Four Stones Gateway Trust and as such have high expectations of both our students and staff and respect the traditional values of hard work, good manners, and self-discipline. A key factor in ensuring your child is successful at TDMS is the level of overall co-operation and communication between the parental body and the school. As part of our celebration culture, we will endeavour to communicate successes whenever we can. Underpinning all that we do are incredibly high standards and we will, via an array of channels, directly communicate any issues with you too.
“Pupils from Year 6 upwards show positive attitudes to learning.
They apply themselves well in lessons. They work calmly and studiously.”
Ofsted ‘Good’, 2023
Learning is at the heart of everything we do but our educational offer is not confined simply to the classroom. We pride ourselves on giving every student the opportunity to show us their best through a diverse range of enriching opportunities, activities and experiences which prepares and equips them to secure places at the very best universities, apprenticeships and employment. We are confident that all our students will achieve everything that they set their minds to.
If you are looking for an environment that can offer your child the stability of an education from Year 6 to Year 13 which promotes personal development, hard work and success then TDMS is the place for you! The best way to find out more about our school is to come and see for yourself. Our doors are always open, and we would be delighted to share our experience and time with you.
