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.
In Reception, we have been learning about the winter season. It has been perfect weather for a chilly winter walk on the school field to observe and talk about the changes that the season has brought. We have also been exploring how water freezes to make ice and changes back to water when it melts. Our creative work has been inspired by cold colours as we have used different art skills and techniques. ❄️☃️🌨🧣
Finlay has loved telling us all about it 👍
We are really looking forward welcoming you all back tomorrow. Don’t forget to bring your hats, gloves and scarfs to keep warm during outdoor playtime!
Wishing all of our families past, present and future a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
See you back at school on Monday 5th January.
