Where children and families come first

Welcome To Durham Lane Primary School

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 busy refreshing and updating the reading corners across Durham Lane Primary School, and we would love your help.

Reading for pleasure is such an important part of school life. We want every child to have inviting reading spaces where they can discover new stories, revisit favourite books and develop a lifelong love of reading.

If you have any good-quality picture books at home that your children have outgrown and that are hardly used or still in lovely condition, we would be very grateful for any donations. These will help us restock our classroom reading areas and give our children an even wider range of books to enjoy.

Please send any donations into school, marked for Helen Gregory.

There is absolutely no expectation to donate, but if you do have suitable books you are happy to pass on, they will be very gratefully received and well loved by our young readers.

Thank you, as always, for your support in helping us make reading a joyful and valued part of every child’s day at Durham Lane.

Yesterday, Fire Fighter Porter from Thornaby Fire Station came into school to talk to us about keeping safe around Bonfire Night. We learnt lots of facts and all know how to stay safe around fireworks, sparklers and bonfires. Thank you Cleveland Fire Brigade UK 👩🏻‍🚒🧯🚒🎇🎆🔥 ... See MoreSee Less

⚠️ IMPORTANT ONLINE SAFETY ALERT FOR PARENTS AND CARERS 📱

We have been made aware of a large group chat called “Biggest Group Ever”, which may contain inappropriate and upsetting content.

Young people can be added to this group without their permission, and the group name may change.

We are asking all parents and carers to take a few minutes to check their child’s messaging apps and remind them to:

✅ Leave, block and report unfamiliar group chats.

✅ Never open, save or forward inappropriate content.

✅ Tell a trusted adult immediately if they see something upsetting.

✅ Check privacy settings to control who can add them to group chats.

💙 Most importantly, reassure your child that they will not be in trouble for asking for help, even if they have opened something by mistake.

Keeping our young people safe online is a shared responsibility, and we appreciate your continued support.
