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.
This week in nursery, we have been exploring all things triangles! The children have been learning about their three sides and corners, spotting triangle shapes in our pink water tray and sand, printing patterns with potato stamps and creating their own triangle trees from lots of mixed up paper pieces. Also, we have been practising letters and shapes in our fine motor sand tray. We’ve also loved getting messy outdoors. We have been digging in the sand, painting and cooking up imaginative recipes in the mud kitchen!
In Reception, we have been looking at the fantastic work of artist Jason Mecier. He makes mosaic portraits by collaging a variety of materials, including food. Our children have created their own amazing pieces using different types of pasta. Well done Reception!🍝🧑🎨
Nursery made some delicious smoothies this week that went down a treat! We also did some fruit tasting, including some of the tropical fruits from the fantastic story “Handa’s Surprise”. We talked about where the fruit comes from and how it grows in hot countries around the world. The children were brilliant at trying new things and predicting the colour and texture inside these healthy fruits. We tasted pomegranate, avocado, mango, pineapple and kiwi. There were lots of brave tasters and big smiles!🍍🥝🥑🍓🍇
