Deeplish is an academy right at the heart of the Deeplish community and we work really hard to do everything that we can to support our children and families. We joined Focus Trust in December 2014 and have not stopped improving.
Our pupil admission number is 60 and there are two classes for each year group, from Reception to Year 6. In addition to class teachers, learning is supported in classes by teaching assistants – the number of these depends on needs within classes and year groups.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum which gives the children a wide range of experiences to develop the whole child. Our curriculum is geared to giving children a firm grounding in the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in an ever-changing world as well as providing them with the solid foundations of reading, writing and maths.
A range of extra-curricular activities usually operates in the autumn and summer terms, during which staff generally run an after-school club once a week. Examples of clubs offered include basketball, choir and debating.
We value highly the partnership between home and school and encourage all parents to take an active part in the education of their children. The partnership between school staff, parents, governors and other stakeholders is an essential one. Children are at the heart of all we do and their social and emotional well-being, as well as their academic achievements are very important.
Whatever the needs of our children we aim to ensure they thrive at Deeplish, feeling safe, having fun and enjoying success. We want our pupils’ time in our school to be memorable, build on what they know and can do and help them become lifelong learners.
