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.

Wellies for OPAL! As a school, we don't insist on children having branded items in our uniform policy as we want to keep costs as low as possible for parents. However, from September, wellies will become a compulsory uniform item. This is because OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) takes place in all weathers and we want to ensure that the children are properly equipped to enjoy their outdoor play. We have recently purchased a welly rack for every class so that the children can keep their wellies in school! We also request that, from September, all children come to school with a waterproof coat with a hood so that they can stay dry, warm and keep enjoying outdoor play. If children want to wear a puddle suit or waterproof trousers, that would be even better! Thank you for your support with this.
