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 week, Year 4 rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on culinary adventure: making Chinese dumplings! From pinching the dough wrapper edges to spooning in the savory filling, the children did an amazing job bringing these traditional treats to life. Cooking together like this is a fantastic way to spark curiosity about new cultures, practice fine motor skills and build confidence in the kitchen. This was a fantastic (and tasty!) hook for Year 4's Shang Dynasty / China topic this term!
Last week, our Year 4 pupils turned into world explorers! Using their atlases, they hunted down different countries and figured out which continents they belonged to. From mapping out South America to pinpointing Australia, it was fantastic to see their teamwork and curious minds in action. Well done, Willow Class!
Well done to Boden in Year 1 who was named Player of the Week for his rugby team!
Mrs Wright was really pleased to see Ellie from Year 3 with some fantastic independent maths work this morning.
