It is my honour and privilege to lead the pupils, staff and community of Danesfield School. We are all incredibly proud of our school and as headteacher, I am determined to build on the success the school has had over the recent years, to ensure the best possible education for our children.
Here at Danesfield, we pride ourselves on celebrating each child's unique potential and creating an inclusive, happy and nurturing community where children thrive. Developing the whole child is our mission and we always strive to improve and be the best we can possibly be.
The school site has developed so much in recent years with the introduction of a brand new forest school school nestled in Rasslers Wood; Pre School, Reception and Year 1 Learning Gardens, Nurture Rooms and Digital Suite adding to our wonderful woodland setting.
Our aim is to deliver an enriching, broad and balanced curriculum to ensure our pupils make progress year on year and are ready for the next stage of their education.
