Deanery Church of England Primary School is a very special place, which has a strong Christian ethos with care and nurture at the heart of everything we do. Our purpose is underpinned by our school vision: to the greater glory of God .
The Church of England's vision for Education is for all schools to provide an education that ensures pupils have life in all its fullness John 10:10. We are proud of our strong partnerships with the local community and the churches that make up the parish of Deanery. We have the privilege of making your child's future the brightest it can be.
As Head Teacher, my education philosophy is that all children flourish because they are happy coming to school and they develop a love of learning. I want children to feel safe and secure and develop their own self-belief and sense of their place in our world.
We aspire for every one of our pupils to not only be academically successful but ultimately, and arguably more importantly, both physically and mentally healthy. The wellbeing of our school community is incredibly important to us.
