Further details about the role

Danemill Primary School is in the village of Enderby, which was originally built on a Danish Settlement, hence the name of the school. Originally, the school was built in 1965 as a junior school, the local Infant school was based on Townsend Road and in 2013 the two schools merged into one site.

We are proud of our vibrant pre and after-school care clubs. The school’s NOR is currently 374 and we have over 50 colleagues working in school, many of whom are specialist leaders in education.
