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.

Studybugs for Parents and Carers
A better, safer way to report when your child is sick and off school. With a few quick taps or clicks, you can give your child’s school all they need to record absence due to illness.
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.

Willow Class would like to say a massive thank you to Pine Class for letting them come and see their new learning environment last Friday. Holly G said "the space was big enough for them to play in and to make memories there." Ivan said "it is very good and very special and there are lots of things for them to do." Holly S-S said "I can't wait for my little sister to go to Pine Class!" It is safe to say that Willow Class were very impressed!
Due to staff absence, the school office will be closing at 1:30p.m. today (Friday 12th September). This means that phone lines and the front desk will not be manned after 1:30p.m. If your child attends Friday Club and you need to collect them early, please ensure that you have communicated this with the school office by 10a.m. today (Friday 12th September) so that arrangements can be made. If you need to get an urgent message to your child after 1:30p.m. today, please send an email to the office email address (putting URGENT in the subject header) and this will be picked up. Thank you for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
