From the Denfield Park Primary School
We are a primary school in Rushden, Northamptonshire, with two forms of entrance. We currently have 470 students enrolled, including a 14-student SEN unit for autistic students and a 39-seat nursery. We are a joyful and nurturing school where every child is valued and cared for to help them recognise and realise their potential and build strong foundations for life. We encourage our kids to put in a lot of effort, love school, and feel proud of their accomplishments. Our school works to promote students' academic, social, emotional, and physical growth. Denfield Park Junior School and Hayway Nursery and Infant School successfully merged in April 2012, resulting in the establishment of Denfield Park Primary School. Our website's primary goal is to offer visitors a sense of our school and the culture we have fostered there. We also want to give parents and students access to regularly updated information. Below is a copy of our "Mission Statement," which includes our vision, values, and ethos. We sincerely hope you enjoy browsing our website and discover any information you're looking for. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with the school if you have any questions about the Primary School or our Nursery. We are PROUD to be "Learning and Growing Together" at Denfield Park, and I'm PROUD to be the Head Teacher of our fantastic school!
