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.

This term, Year 4 explored the power of our words and the impact they have on those around us. They started by identifying "feel-good" words versus words that can make us feel sad. They also practiced a very important rule to use BEFORE they speak: Stop, Think, and Choose! The children used their "feel-good" words to write beautiful, uplifting messages. They were then challenged to share a kind word with at least three classmates though many of our superstars went above and beyond, spreading kindness to everyone they met! This resulted in: Positive Vibes: They discussed how giving a compliment makes us feel just as good as the person receiving it. Big Smiles: They loved watching the happy reactions of their friends! A Great Day: Willow Class headed to lunch feeling incredibly fulfilled and proud. Well done, Year 4! Keep using those kind words!
Mrs Webber's next door neighbour has made a lovely bench for our Year R outside area. The children are so very lucky!
