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.

Some of you may be wondering why Mrs Fuller was on the gate with Mrs Wright this morning. This is what she has to say: "My name is Rachel fuller and I have been lucky enough to be given the role of Deanwood's Home School Support Worker. I have worked in care and education for over 20 years working with children between 3 months and 12 years and their families within the community. Therefore, I feel that I can help parents and carers to support their children with social, emotional wellbeing, behavioural and SEND needs. Alongside my Teaching Assistant role, I can provide pastoral support to parents and carers and help with any issues that you may have in relation to supporting your children both at home and in school. Should you have a personal concern or school-related issue then I am here as a 'listening ear.' I have access to a number of agencies that I can signpost you to that can offer the appropriate support to you and your family. I am here to help!" Please say "hello" to Mrs Fuller on the gate. She loves to chat!
Mrs Wright was really excited to get a visit from Lilah-Rose on Friday afternoon! Lilah-Rose attends our Nursery and wanted to show off the certificate she has got for the fantastic work she has been doing at gymnastics! Well done, Lilah-Rose!
