Ethos and Values

Denham Village School is committed to the delivery of outstanding Primary Education and to being fully responsive to the needs of all children in the community it serves

At Denham Village School we pride ourselves in offering our pupils a broad, rich and varied curriculum. Our vision and values of respect, resilience, kindness, aspiration and independence are at the core of everything we do and underpin our teaching and learning. As a school we have a long-standing commitment to being a community school working with the natural environment, music, sport and the arts to deliver academic excellence. These experiences not only serve to enrich the curriculum but help to develop confidence and make learning more enjoyable and memorable. We know that children learn best when they are offered exciting, engaging and immersive opportunities and this is fostered through our approach. We believe that learning should be fun, interactive and focused on children's own personal needs. We are committed to raising standards and providing the best education for every pupil in our school.

We provide a creative and enriched curriculum that is tailored to pupils needs, interests and experiences. Our staff work hard to make learning relevant and fun and our pupils thrive as a result. We provide our pupils with stimulating and awe-inspiring experiences. We believe that our pupils learn best when they experience ‘real’ learning and are immersed in experiences that will enrich their minds. We offer our pupils an exciting range of trips, visits and activities that provide unique opportunities and motivate learning.

We have built a community in DVS where children are more that just educated and where all feel safe and supported. They are empowered to change their own lives and the lives of those around them. We provide a culture of mutual respect and acceptance with children moving onto their next venture with the skills and values to set them on the path to achieve their dreams. 

We want all our pupils to be outstanding learners; to be happy, take risks and enjoy all the opportunities that our school offers - branching out and growing together.
