At Deanshanger Primary school we would like to keep you all informed about all the breaking news here at our school. From school trips to what goes on everyday as your children are learning and experiencing so many different adventures.
If you click into a news item, there should be a button that will link you into the gallery where we save special memories.
A couple of parents have made contact about CGP Books. These books are cheaper if bought through school. We have decided that we will place a school order in January. These orders need to with us by Thursday 28th January.
Reading continues to be a high priority for us. Please can you ensure that child/ren are reading daily. This may involve you listening to them read or you reading them a story.
Within school we have a number of e-book learning resources. For example in EYFS and Year One, the e-reading books and from Years Two to Six, myON. Accelerated Reader is still open so children can take quizzes on books they've read. If you are experiencing any problems logging onto these sites, please contact your child's class teacher so they can help you.
Dear Parents/Carers,
Whilst we are now delighted to have a group of key worker and vulnerable children in school, we recognise that there is a large group of you learning at home.
We appreciate that keeping children engaged in their learning whilst at home is not easy so we have prepared content for your child that can be completed both independently or with adult support. Please email your child’s class teacher with any queries or if you would like share any of your child’s learning. We're always on the end of an email, so please make contact with us. Everything that you do with your child will make a difference.
Although we don't know what the next few days, weeks or even months will look like, we are here for you and your children and will try our hardest to support in every way that we can.
Keep safe and we look forward to welcoming your children back soon.

Parenting or caring for a child or young person can be tough. It's important to make sure you look after your own mental wellbeing, as this will help you support yourself and those you care about
Try to recognise and acknowledge when you're feeling low or overwhelmed. Struggling with something or experiencing your own mental health problems does not make you a bad parent or carer.
It's completely normal to be worried, scared or helpless during difficult times, and feeling this way is nothing to be ashamed of.
Is there a friend, fellow parent or carer you trust enough to tell how you're feeling? Maybe there's family, friends or a colleague who could support you or allow you a break?
There's plenty of help out there. You should never feel like you have to cope on your own.
Young Minds has lots of support for parents, including a helpline and guidance around parenting with a mental illness.
Mind has information and suggestions on how to manage parenting with a mental health problem.
Scope has advice on managing stress when caring for a disabled child.
Please find below information from the Local Authority regarding setting up a community workshop to provide support during this second lockdown for families and lone parents.
On Wednesday, the FS children and team headed off to Forest School with an extra spring of excitement in their steps! They had the most wonderful bonfire party complete with sparklers, marshmallows and a camp fire. For more photos, click here.
