Welcome to Duke Street Primary School Co Headteachers It is our very great privilege to be Co-Headteachers at Duke Street Primary School. We have worked together at the school since 2001/02 and it gives us immense pleasure, to see how the school has developed, in so many ways, over the years. Our core values articulate what is important to us as an inclusive school family.
The I CARE mnemonic stands for Individuality, Community, Aspire / Achieve, Resilience and Empathy. These values are embedded into all aspects of school life.
