  • Author of the month @DPS

    Published 20/04/23

    At Deanshanger Primary School we strive to promote the love of reading within our children. 

    To be a fluent reader is not only a necessary life skill, but one of life’s greatest pleasures. Books are a gateway for children and adults to explore new worlds, learn about the past, spark imaginations and develop critical thinking skills. Children should learn that reading is also a way to relax therefore an important mental health tool. 

    To ensure our children read a rich variety of books and an opportunity to learn about different writers and genres, we have launched Author of the Month. 

     Each month is dedicated to a different author. This is promoted in class as well as our school library, where children are able to borrow books written by the author.

  • DPS - Invention Convention on Tuesday 10th & 17th January.

    Published 11/01/23

    At Deanshanger Primary School we participated in the Invention Convention. This even encourages our students explore new skills such as problem-identification, problem-solving, entrepreneurship and looking at becoming more creative. The afternoon was full of scientific discussion and presentation of their inventions. It was a fun activity for some of our reception children to visit as they have their first experience of this event. 

    We are proud of each and every child that worked hard on an invention. We hope the parent/carers enjoyed coming in to see the inventions. It's so nice we can share these experiences with you in person again.

  • Visit from Rt Hon Andrea Leadsom

    Published 18/11/22

    We welcomed a visit from our local MP who ran a fun question and answer session with Mrs Rice and the children. It was a wet and cold day at Deanshanger Primary School, so it was nice to have an uplifting visit from Rt Hon Andrea Leadsom MP, Conservative Member of Parliament for South Northamptonshire. As part of the visit, Andrea Leadsom, MP, met our students in the main hall for a special assembly. Mrs Leadsom led the session with some fun facts about parliament and some funny stories for the children about Westminster. It was then handed over to the children to ask any and questions they had about politics and how it works. This was enjoyable for the children, and it was lovely to see some insightful questions being asked.
