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.
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.

Miss Manewell managed to pull off a brilliant prank for April Fools Day. She told the children that Mrs Wright would be ordering brandnew classroom chairs but only if everyone measured their current chairs and themselves to make sure we got the perfect fit. The children got straight to work with rulers and tape measures... and they all fell for it! A lovely bit of laughter to start the day in Willow Class. The children were amazing and they used their fab maths skills to measure accurately.
Today is National Offer Day! Parents with children due to start school this September will receive a letter or email from today with an offer of a primary school place for their child. Don't forget to accept your child's offer as soon as possible! If you would like to join us, but haven't been allocated Deanwood, you can appeal the decision or join a waiting list. For full guidance, please visit: https://www.medway.gov.uk/info/200137/schools_and_learning/1059/applying_for_a_primary_school_place Medway Council advise you to accept your offered place, even if you want to go on a waiting list or appeal, as there's no guarantee your appeal/waiting list request will be successful. After you have accepted your child's place, we will shortly be in contact to officially welcome you and your child to the Deanwood community! We can't wait to meet you!
We are looking forward to welcoming you all back to school on Monday 20th April. Looking forward to see you then!
As part of their Science block last term, Year 5 looked at pictures of members of staff from when they were younger and had to guess who was who! They certainly had a lot of fun playing "Guess the Baby"!
