About

Danson Primary originally started life as Little Danson, comprising a few wooden buildings, in the early 1930s. Our school name originates from the famous Danson House, dating from the late 18th century as the school stands on land which once formed part of its estate. Our current school opened in 1933 and became a two-form entry school in 1952.

We were delighted to expand in 2018 to become a three-form entry school to continue to serve our local community. We are a popular three form entry school with a breakfast and after school club provision. We are nestled beside Danson Park, where our children regularly frequent as part their local visits throughout the year.

We are incredibly lucky to have extensive grounds for our children that are used throughout the course of the day. Our grounds have continued to be enhanced with the addition of a new MuGA (Multi-use Games Area), Adventure Activity Area, seating areas and playground markings.

We have an enthusiastic, experienced and committed staff, who strive to support our pupils 'to be the very best that they can be'. We are fortunate to have a specialist music teacher, sports coaches and art tuition for our children.
