Federation of Denmead School

Welcome to Denmead Junior School’s website. We are located in the village of Denmead, north of Waterlooville, Hampshire. For 2017-18 children are organised into 10 classes; 5 classes in the lower school of year 3 and 4 mixed and 5 classes in the upper school of year 5 and 6 mixed. We currently have 284 children on roll.

I joined the school as Head Teacher in September 2014. My vision is to grow the school so that pupils, parents, staff and the wider community of Denmead can be rightly proud of the quality of education provided here and of the exceptionally well-rounded children that we nurture, encourage and teach.

We have been on a rapid improvement journey over the last few years, moving from ‘Special Measures’ to ‘Good’ from Ofsted in February 2016 – in just 15 months. The leadership team of the school and the governors are targeting meeting Ofsted’s ‘Outstanding’ judgement criteria at our next inspection due in 2019.

Our priorities for 2017-18 include:

· Building children’s knowledge, attitude, skills and habits needed for independent lifelong learning

· Continuing to develop our curriculum so that it is consistently rich and engaging for all children

· Improving the quality of learning so that children receive increasingly outstanding teaching, so that all groups of children make very good progress in every year group across the school

· Improving children’s confidence in more formal test situations so that their test results match our validated teacher assessments at the end of year 6

· Continuing to develop our extensive grounds so that children have more opportunities to learn outside

We hope that you find our website useful.  If you are a prospective parent please do arrange a visit for a personal tour. We look forward to hearing from you.
