Devonshire Road Primary School is a happy and successful school where all are extended a warm welcome. We pride ourselves on valuing every child and helping them to achieve all they can, and grow in their own unique ways.
Our well-trained staff work hard to deliver an exciting and challenging curriculum which has been designed to develop the knowledge our children will need in order to go on to achieve whatever they want to achieve. We strive to inspire; nurture aspirations; achieve great standards of learning and remove any perceived ceilings of achievement.
We strive to develop the ability in our children to make well-informed choices that will lead to happy lives. We place importance on enriching children's learning and experiences through carefully chosen visits and visitors and we have a well-developed personal development curriculum. Our mission is to develop the whole child.
We encourage children to be independent learners and thinkers, developing them as responsible members of their community. Our partnership with parents and carers is vitally important to us. We firmly believe that children have the best chance of success when we work together.
