The Dorchester Area Schools Partnership (DASP) is a group of 19 schools in the Dorchester area.[1] It includes 13 first schools, three middle schools, an upper school (The Thomas Hardye School), an independent school and a learning centre.

History

[edit]

It was formed in 1992 with a mission to provide the best education for those educated in the Dorchester, Dorset area.[2]

Ofsted

[edit]

Ofsted praised it for providing "a means for passing information about pupils and for building curriculum continuity which enables schools to share resources effectively".

DASP Student Voice

[edit]

The DASP Student Voice is a representative body of the students across all DASP schools. Meetings are hosted by different schools every term and a wide range of issues are raised from the environment to sports and music.[3] Most recently, they have been discussing the Student Voice Olympic Dreams Project led by The Thomas Hardye School and their partnership with The Doon School in India.[4] Another big project has been the DASP Olympic Torch Relay.[5]
