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.

Musician of the Month! This is our final week of Freddie Mercury. This week's assembly song is rather a poignant one, given how unwell Freddie was when he wrote it. I wonder who April's musician will be?
Once again, KS2 Music Club was a hive of activity last week! The session started with everyone listening to Millie's choice of music - "Stargazing" by Myles Smith. The children then played a variation of the "hotter / colder" game that got them to think about dynamics (how loud or how soft a piece of music is). They then passed a beanbag around the circle thinking really carefully about the pulse (the steady heartbeat of a piece of music). This was tricky when the music got faster! As always, karaoke ended the session with George's choice of George Ezra's "Green Green Grass" and Mrs Wright's choice of "Timber" getting everybody up and moving! Why not have a go yourself? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Rw3qFnn3-U
