Resilience Responsibility Kindness Empathy Fairness Respect

Head Teacher's Message

The Headteacher describes Dane Bank as a warm, welcoming place with a 'family feel' where staff know pupils and care about their learning and wellbeing. The school aims to support every child to achieve their potential, become emotionally literate and confident individuals, and to build strong partnerships with families and the local community.

Curriculum Highlights

The curriculum is knowledge based. The National Curriculum for England provides entitlement for children in our school. The curriculum is carefully sequenced with clear progression of knowledge and skills. Our school has 6 values: Resilience, Responsibility, Kindness, Empathy, Fairness and Respect, which underpin all we do. Maths, English and Science are taught as discrete subjects, with cross-curricular links made where meaningful and valuable. Subject documents include Road Maps, Knowledge Overviews, Knowledge Organisers and 'Subject on a Page' documents to show Intent, Implementation and Impact. Our Curriculum Drivers and an Oracy Framework underpin all curriculum work, including 'Inclusion in...' and 'Oracy in...' documents.
