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.

Wow! Project teaser ... As you may be aware, we have some very exciting building work happening at Deanwood over the summer break. Over the next few days, we will be sharing some picture updates. The builders have been working really hard and it's all starting to take shape.
The current Year 1 class enjoyed a variety of activities during their Transition Day in the Year 2 classroom. These included: creating named place mats; letters to their future selves; tidying and sorting the outdoor learning space and observing bugs on the way. What fun they all had!
Our current Year 3s had a fantastic time stepping into the shoes of Year 4's during Transition Day! They got creative making birthday cards, designing their own peg labels for their new classroom, and helping shape our class charter with some thoughtful rules. A highlight of the day? Spending time in the Reading Garden and testing out the brand-new picnic bench, which was a big hit! We're so proud of how confidently they embraced the day. Year 4 is looking bright already!
Here is a Healthy Living Week throwback from Year 5! It seems that the children "thought on their feet" when the PTA borrowed their classroom tables for the Summer Fayre and used this as an opportunity to sleep / relax and talk about how important sleep is for us all. Sounds like a perfect way to spend an afternoon to us!
