The school is exceptionally proud of the journey it has come on, in ensuring the curriculum, assessment, behaviour and personal development of students enables them to flourish and thrive, and be ready for their next stage of education. Students are encouraged to become lifelong learners who are prepared to go out into the world without any fear of the unknown, with the confidence to deal with successes and failures, and know–how to learn from them. Deansbrook Junior School is an innovative and creative school; constantly seeking inspirational ways to engage and excite children. The quality of our school grounds and classrooms are exceptional and our high standards of achievement reflect this. Our children, their parents and their teachers have a real voice in the school.
