De Havilland Primary School
We are a large and vibrant school offering our children the very best learning opportunities in their Early Years and Primary education. We want all of our children to have a positive appetite for learning, high aspirations for their future as well as happy memories of their time at De Havilland. We value the relationships we build with our children, parents, staff and governors as well as our neighbouring communities.
We have exceptionally high standards of behaviour and good manners throughout our school. The intention of our website is to provide a flavour of the rich and varied learning that our children experience and enjoy, and to provide key information about the school and ways in which to support your child. You can get a taste of life at De Havilland in our video below
We hope that you enjoy your visit and that you find what you are looking for. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything else you need, if you have questions to ask or if you would like to visit. We are always here to listen and support.
