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.

Part 1 - White Rose Maths Task Master Series Towards the end of term, Willow Class began the White Rose Maths Task Master Series. The activities help to promote teamwork, reasoning and mathematical thinking through hands-on, fun challenges. The children decided on a team name for their group and were then ready to look at their first task! Their first task was "The Great Paper Tower Task". This task required the children to use no more than 20 sheets of paper and tape to build the tallest, free-standing tower. The tower had to stand on its own for 10 seconds and as an additional challenge, hold weight.
Our Year 6 children (and staff!) loved the photo booth at the Prom!
During Healthy Living Fortnight, Willow Class looked at the Eatwell Plate and discussed the importance of a balanced diet. They then created a healthy meal, making sure to include as many of the food groups as possible. There were some very interesting combinations!
As part of Healthy Living Fortnight, every class was able to choose what activities they wanted to do for PE. Willow Class chose tennis, badminton and the parachute. It was lovely to be able to get up on the field and have some fun with the equipment. There are some budding tennis players in this class!
