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.
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.
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.
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.

Miss Curry and Mrs King are so proud of Maple Class who have been writing sentences using capital letters and full stops. Well done, Year 1!
Today marked the inaugural rehearsal of Deanwood's KS2 Choir. We think it's safe to say that great fun was had by all and that there were lots of smiles from both the children and adults. We cannot wait for next week's rehearsal!
In their study of the Stone Age, Year 3 have been investigating Palaeolithic artefacts and trying to work out what they were used for.
We like Mondays at Deanwood because it means that we get to listen to another piece of music from our Musician of the Month. This week, we have a Kate Bush song which we are certain lots of you will know because of its link with Stranger Things. We hope you enjoy listening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp43OdtAAkM
