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.

Willow Class have been learning about how important it is to speak to a trusted adult when something happens that makes them feel worried, confused or unsafe. Willow Class know that adults can only help if we tell them - sharing worries helps keep everyone safe and supported. The children have also been exploring what makes each of them unique. Some differences can be seen and some are hidden and sometimes people have different reasons for needing things to be a little different. In their classroom, Year 4 celebrate these differences because they make our community kinder, stronger and more interesting. Different is special at Deanwood!!
