Welcome to Deanwood Primary School
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.
Happy, Successful and Safe
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.
Our Curriculum
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.
Ethos & Values
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.

Help Our School Get More Funding! This Thursday (1st October), schools across the country will take part in the annual School Census Day. For every child who gets a school meal on Census Day, our school gets £505 of extra funding! We would like to encourage all families with children entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meal, to enjoy their free meal on Thursday 1st October. Don't forget that every child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 is eligible for a free meal, as well as any pupils in KS2 who receive FSM. Our caterers have lots of lunchtime favourites on offer, including: Beef burgers Cheese & tomato pizza Jacket potato Jelly, fruit and chocolate brownies for dessert! The number of school meals ordered on this day has a significant impact on the amount of Government funding we receive, so this is a perfect opportunity to try our school canteen if you haven't done so before! Meals should be ordered in advance via Arbor, as usual.

We're holding three school tours next month, for those hoping to join us in Year R next September. 1st October | 9:30-10:15am 7th October | 9:30-10:15am 16th October | 9:30-10:15am These tours are an opportunity to see the school in action, and speak to our Principal or a member of our Early Years team, as well as getting an opportunity to speak to pupils.

Musician of the Month! We have come to the last few days of September's musician. We hope you will agree that it has been fantastic to listen to the music of ABBA this month - staff and children alike have been very keen to dance (and sing!) as they come into assembly! Here is a link to this week's assembly music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-crgQGdpZR0
