About Enderby Danemill Primary School

Our school motto is 'Only the best is good enough' and this is apparent with everything that we do. I am honoured to lead such a fantastic school where we are determined to support both children and staff as well as our local community in fulfilling their individual goals.

We are a school committed to celebrating our community and enjoying strong, collaborative partnerships. We learn about the history of our school and work to create our own memories. The village of Enderby was originally a Danish Settlement, hence the name of the school, Danemill Primary. The school was originally built in 1965 as a junior school, the local infant school was based on Townsend Road and in 2013 the two schools merged onto one site.

At Danemill we believe that a happy child is a child who will enjoy learning in a positive, inclusive and fun environment. Our aim is to ensure that each and every child fulfils their potential and is ready for the next stage in their education. Our key learning values are woven throughout our curriculum, curiosity, communication, reflection, resilience, motivation, creativity, collaboration and bravery.

Danemill is proud to be a part of Discovery Schools Multi Academy Trust. The Trust consists of thirteen schools who work closely in partnership together for the benefit of all of our children. We also enjoy working in partnership with the Affinity Teaching School Alliance and our local family of schools including the local secondary school.

We have high aspirations for all of our children and have developed a curriculum that supports the needs of our children. It is rich and inspiring as well as offering a broad range of experiences and opportunities. The core subjects of Maths, English, Science and P.E. are taught discreetly alongside PSHE and Computing whilst the foundation subjects are taught through a topic based approach. In order to engage and enthuse our pupils’ tangible links are made across all areas of the curriculum. Pupil and staff wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do, we aim to educate the whole child in order to enable them to be the best that they can be.

Danemill wants to provide an outstanding education with unforgettable memories for children within our Danemill family. If you would like to see the school in action then we would welcome the opportunity to show you around and answer any questions that you may have. Meanwhile, enjoy our website and social media channels which showcases just some of the fabulous learning taking place at Danemill Primary School.

Our Vision

“Only the best is good enough”

We aim to thread our school motto throughout all aspects of school life. Intertwined into daily learning are all of our key values:

  • Motivation – children enjoying all aspects of school life and always giving 100% effort in everything that they do.
  • Bravery – children taking risks with their learning, exploring and not being afraid to make mistakes.
  • Creativity – different ways of approaching tasks, recording tasks and sharing learning.
  • Resilience – a ‘never give up’ attitude present and evident in all children and staff.
  • Collaboration – children that can work together to achieve.
  • Communication – children sharing experiences and discussing their thoughts.
  • Curiosity – children asking questions and finding answers.
  • Reflections – always thinking about prior learning and building upon this day by day.

 Discovery Schools Academy Trust is dedicated to improving learning and teaching by creating a culture that promotes excellence. The needs of all children are placed at the heart of all decision making regardless of the school they attend. Teaching and learning excellence is shared through learning networks, sharing of ideas and materials as well as leading practitioners between schools.
