Welcome to Deanwood Primary School. Starting school is a most important time in your child's life and at Deanwood we aim to make it a great start. Being a smaller school helps us to create a happy, successful and safe environment in which to learn.
Deanwood is a community Primary School with a nursery provision. At present, there are 209 children on roll, organised into eight classes. A large percentage of our children join us at the age of 3 and leave at the end of Year 6. Deanwood joined the Howard Academy Trust on 1st October 2016.
Studybugs for Parents and Carers
A better, safer way to report when your child is sick and off school. With a few quick taps or clicks, you can give your child’s school all they need to record absence due to illness.
We recognise that a curriculum has to be broad, balanced and offer pupils opportunities to grow as individuals as well as learners. We also intend to offer our pupils new and exciting experiences through extra-curricular activities that are designed to build resilience, confidence and self-esteem.
At Deanwood we want everybody to be “Happy, Successful and Safe”. We aim to do this by promoting the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty
& mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

Musician of the Month! A new month means a new musician! This month, we are listening to the music of Alan Dawa Dolma - a Tibetan singer who was born in 1987. She can sometimes be seen in her videos playing the erhu which is a Chinese string instrument. Here is a link to the music we will be listening to in school this week. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJfCI3FL9WI
During our recent Health Living Week, Maple Class had a dreamy day learning all about the importance of sleep! They got cosy in their pyjamas and spent time exploring their bedtime routinesturns out everyone relaxes a little differently before drifting off to sleep! It was wonderful to see how thoughtful the children were about what helps them wind down for a good night's rest and why this is important. A snuggly, reflective day all round!
Children in Pine Class love using their phonics to draw Pokemon and write their names using the phonics they know!
