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.

Here is a link to this week's assembly music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6D6jwjoEoI&list=OLAK5uy_n7Ax9WNKAuQVwrnzKHsRZtHGzEcxEDVnY&index=6

Please check your emails for an Arbor message regarding arrangements for next week due to the forecast high temperatures: - We are happy for children to wear their school PE kit and trainers rather than their uniform if this will be cooler for them next week. PE tops should, of course, be white with no large logos and should be full t-shirts NOT vest tops or cropped tops. Football tops are not permitted - Please ensure that your child brings a filled water bottle into school every day next week - Please ensure that your child brings a named sunhat into school every day next week - Please ensure that children come into school with suncream already applied. Children can reapply their suncream before lunchtime - please practice doing this with your children at home so that they are able to apply suncream independently - As we will be asking the children to stay in the shaded areas at playtime and lunchtime and discouraging them from running around too much, please let your children know this is what will be happening so that this does not come as a surprise to them tomorrow!
