Welcome to Deanwood Primary School. We want every child at Deanwood to be "Happy, Successful and Safe". We firmly believe that children who are feeling happy and safe in school will be keen to learn and will therefore be far more likely to make good progress both academically and emotionally.

Starting school is a key moment in a child’s life. We aim to ensure that all of our children have the best possible start, whether they are joining us in the Foundation Stage or at a later stage in their educational career. As a one-form entry primary school, we pride ourselves on being a close-knit community of learners where adults and children quickly get to know each other. In our experience, these relationships are particularly helpful when children move from one year group to the next as they are already familiar with the other adults in the school.

Our most recent Ofsted report highlighted that, “Pupils enjoy coming to school at Deanwood. This is clear in the positive ways that they interact with one another. It is also reflected in their good attendance, which the school has worked diligently with families to improve.” (Ofsted 2024).

"In class, pupils focus well. They are keen to share and discuss their ideas as they learn. In the playground, older pupils take on roles as play leaders. This helps to strengthen the community ethos of the school.” (Ofsted 2024).

Our key aim is achievement with enjoyment and our children are encouraged to participate in all aspects of learning. We aim to develop caring, confident, responsible individuals who are given the opportunity to reach their full potential.

If you are interested in one of our vacancies, please do not hesitate to apply.
