Dumpton Talks
As a community at Dumpton we often host talks from fantastic visiting speakers and from within our staff body, all aimed at shining a light on different elements of parenting, and sharing wisdom and insight about how best to bring up our children in a modern world.
Whether you are a prospective, current or former parent, Old Dumptonian, past or present member of staff or a friend of the school, we all share a common bond in our community and we welcome you to join us. If you would like to hear more please contact headspa@dumpton.com
Some talks this year include 'Healthy Habits for Healthy Mind', 'The Psychology of Motivation and Resilience in Children', 'Parents Tweens and Teens', 'Bored and Brilliant: free the mind from technology to ignite creativity' and 'What being a premiership football manager has taught me about preparing children for life'.
