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.

We are just starting our OPAL journey at Deanwood. OPAL stands for "Outdoor Play and Learning" and is a fantastic way to ensure that all of our children (and adults!) have the best possible playtime experience. Although it will be a long journey, Mrs Wright and Miss Manewell are really excited to have had their initial training and are now keen to start getting things moving as quickly as possible. This morning, Mrs Wright and Miss Manewell did an OPAL Introductory assembly for the children. Who knew that grown ups could have so much fun playing with empty boxes?!?! If you would like to see a Platinum Award Winning OPAL School in action, why not take a look at this link? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm7IfAEsjqI #opal
