A Warm Welcome from the Headteacher and the Chair of Academy Council

Welcome to Downham Feoffees Primary Academy (DFPA), part of Meridian Trust [1], where we hope you will experience a wealth of enthusiasm for learning and for supporting and helping each other within our learning culture. We are sure you will quickly feel the friendly and positive ethos in the academy from both the staff and the children who would love to share their latest pieces of work and activities with you.

Downham Feoffees Primary Academy is part of the Meridian family of academies. Our academy is situated in the heart of the village of Little Downham and caters for children aged 4 – 11 (Reception, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2).

Please browse our website to see what we have been doing recently and to discover our approach to teaching and learning.

We have approximately 160 pupils, organised into seven single age classes. The majority of our pupils come from Little Downham; the remainder are from the surrounding villages.

We aim to provide engaging learning activities for your children within a stimulating and challenging environment. Although our purpose is to promote the development of academic and practical skills, we also seek to guide children in their social, wellbeing and moral development. The environment we provide for your children promotes an inquiring mind, independence, self-motivation and confidence. We aim to develop the numerous social skills that are necessary for children to become responsible members of society.
