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.

As part of their Science block, Willow Class created circuits to see if they could make a bulb light up. They used wires with crocodile clips, bulbs and cells (batteries) to create their circuits. The next step will be to test different materials to see if they are conductors or insulators! They can't wait!!
We look forward to welcoming the children back to school bright and early on Monday 3rd November.
Last term, Year 4 learnt all about electricity in their Science block. They started by becoming electrical detectives which meant that they spent some time looking around our school for appliances that were mains operated and battery operated and taking photos of them on the school iPads. Later in the week, Willow Class would be building circuits to see if they could make a light bulb light up.
Our open days for our September 2026 intake can be found below! Join us for a tour around our school, and a chance to speak to the Principal, SENCO and EYFS Team.
