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.
Today we are celebrating World Down Syndrome Day by wearing odd socks! 🧦
So good to see how the parents support all of the ideas!
This week in Science Club, we explored how big Jupiter is and some of its important features 🪐
I'm jealous of what they get to do compared to my time at primary school!! Well done to the staff providing the club and the children for taking part with such enthusiasm.
As part of Science Week, Early Years took part in an amazing animal explorer workshop earlier this week. Children from Nursery and Reception got to touch and hold different animals including a snake, millipede, giant snail and a gecko! The Zoolab Ranger told us some fascinating facts about the animals as we learned about their habitats and what they ate.🐍🐌🦎🕷🪳
Well done to them all. I’m Isla’s Nana and I was a lot older before I held a snake ! 👍
