Danescourt Primary

We consider it a tremendous privilege that you have entrusted us with the education of your son or daughter. Primary School education is an incredibly important time for young learners, not only because of the foundations it lays for future academic progress, but also because it gives pupils the opportunity to learn important lifeskills and be part of a vibrant and caring community.

The wellbeing of our learners is extremely important to us and we encourage you as parents to let us know of any concerns you may have at an early stage so we can work together to improve the emotional security of your child. Your son or daughter will experience an exciting skills-based curriculum which makes full use of the outside environment and is enhanced through educational visits and visitors to school.

As a school, we believe that pupils need to be fully aware of their own learning progress and the next steps for their improvement. We plan exciting learning experiences which engender curiosity and questions in our young pupils and encourage them to make independent choices. We have high expectations of all our pupils; challenging everyone to have high aspirations and be the best that they can be.
