Durdans Park Primary School

[EduCativ]

Durdan’s Park Primary and Nursery School is a community school that provides quality education for children aged between 3 and 11 years. We provide a secure and caring environment where children are comfortable and most important of all, happy. We have high expectations of every one of our pupils in an educational and social capacity. We know, as educationalists, that children learn best when they are happy and when they have high self-esteem.

Our team of staff works hard to ensure that the talents and skills of all pupils are recognized. A high level of self-esteem is the key to learning.

The school’s Governing Body is a proactive and a positive force for school improvement. Also, the majority of Governors are parents of children at Durdan’s Park and as stakeholders, their commitment to the school is assured. We intend that the school will continue to go from strength to strength, helped by the goodwill, support, and commitment of parents.

At Durdan’s Park, we aim to provide a welcoming, safe, happy school where everyone is respected and listened to. A school where we take pride in ourselves and our achievements enabling children to become confident and successful learners.

The school and its Nursery Unit opened in 1976. The building has conventional classrooms. It is well equipped, with a library containing a large number of books. The library is regularly updated and new books are chosen with due regard to the cultural and ethnic background of our children and the Equal Opportunities Policies, both of the school and the London Borough of Ealing. The school has a suite of 30 Personal Computers plus a scanner and is linked to the Internet. Every classroom, including the Nursery Unit, has a computer with internet access and all classes have an interactive whiteboard for teaching purposes.

A specialist Music teacher works with all the children each week using a variety of musical instruments which reflect the background of our children. There is a dedicated Music Room. There are areas in the school for cooking, art and craft, and drama. The halls are fitted with gymnastic apparatus and there is an ample supply of physical education equipment. All classrooms have sinks, toilets, and a cloakroom situated close by. KS1 bays have additional quiet areas. A welfare room, used for medical care, is situated near the main office. The school takes security very seriously. Access to the school building is controlled by remote-controlled entry gates.

Durdan’s Park Primary School can accommodate 420 pupils in the main school and an additional 100 pupils in our Nursery. There are 22 teachers and 21 support staff who work closely to provide quality education for pupils. Our annual intake is 60 children excluding Nursery.

Nursery and Reception children each have their play area. The older children share a large playground at the rear of the school.

There are four teams of staff who work with different age groups:

• Foundation Stage – Nursery and Reception
• Key Stage 1 – Year 1 and 2
• Key Stage 2 – Years 3, 4, 5 and 6

Each team is led by a Team Leader who is responsible for the immediate management of the staff and pupils and will be the first point of contact for parents of those children.

Durdan’s Park Primary School is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural school. Religion is central to the lives of many pupils and there is a wide range of religions that are practiced by the pupils attending our school. Our Assemblies are accessible to all pupils, regardless of religion or belief.
