Head Teacher's Welcome

Welcome to Dearham Primary School

Dearham Primary School is a friendly village school with children at the heart of everything we do.  Here at Dearham we believe that education is a two-way process where children’s opinions and interests are valued and respected. The interests and aspirations of our children are what drive our curriculum intent forward. We have a wonderful team of dedicated staff, who work hard to ensure that every child is supported by both cherishing and challenging them to fulfil their potential in a safe and welcoming learning environment. Our children are polite, well-mannered, respectful and acknowledge the high levels of behaviour expected at our school.

Dearham Primary School became part of Changing Lives Learning Trust,  on September 1st 2020. Children and staff benefit from the unique opportunities that being part of a Multi-Academy Trust brings. We believe opportunities such as our annual residentials, links with multi-cultural schools and opportunities to express themselves through, dance, sport and song enrich our community school and provide inspiring platforms to prepare our children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

Our wider school community are welcomed and encouraged to be part of our Dearham School family. We have a wonderful group of parents, who fundraise for our school to provide extra play equipment, technology and funding to support school trips. We hold dear our family friendly events and parents will always be welcomed into our school. If, as a parent, you do have any concerns and want to speak to me, I will always make time to see you as the happiness of your children and yourselves is of paramount importance to me.

The children, staff, governors, parents and the wider community are what make Dearham so special. As the Headteacher I wish to welcome you to our school and invite you to see first-hand how special it is.
