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.

Last night, the KS2 Choir performed to their families for the very first time! We were absolutely blown away by how many people came to watch. It is certainly safe to say that the children well and truly rose to the occasion! They performed brilliantly! We really hope that everyone that came enjoyed the performance as much as we did. We would like to say "well done" to all of the children in the KS2 Choir - we are looking forward to seeing you again for the next rehearsal on Tuesday 21st April. And finally, we would like to thank Mrs Daffin, Mrs Turner, Mrs Cavell and Mrs Wright for everything they do - without you, there would be no choir! Thank you!
Our PTA are busy setting up for our Easter Coffee Afternoon. As you can see, they have had to call upon Year 5 to help! If you would be able to offer any support with future events, please contact the PTA via the school office. We are looking forward to seeing you all later - the cakes look amazing!
