I am delighted to welcome you to the Durham Lane website. Our school prospectus and school website are full of useful information about the school, its ethos, organisation and staffing. We hope you find it helpful. My vision is that Durham Lane Primary School is a centre for excellence, serving our children, their families and the community as best we can, making sure they achieve and succeed.
Our school is a special place full of learning, laughter and friendship where everyone is happy, feels safe and is valued. We enjoy the present, but look to the future – and aspire to equip our children with the skills, curiosity and resilience they need to continue learning throughout their lives.
Our children deserve the best from this school. Our duty is to provide it.
We are delighted to announce that we will be offering 30 hour provision. The children will continue with their morning placements, but we are now able to offer some flexibility for afternoon Nursery provision and before and afterschool provision. Mrs. Guest, the Nursery Teacher, will teach both in the mornings and the afternoons.
We had an eggstraordinary day yesterday as we all decorated Easter Eggs for the Easter Egg Decorating Competition 2026. The winners were announced today in assembly. Well done to all the children for taking part and to Mr Birch who won the parent’s competition for his superb “Take on Me” egg scene! Fantastic! 🥚🥇🥈🥉
They are ‘eggscellent’! 🥰🥰
