On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you to Devonshire Primary School.

We hope that our website is clear, informative and easy to navigate. It is designed to give you a flavour of life at Devonshire. We are a popular three-form entry primary school in South Sutton. In our most recent Ofsted inspection (May 2019), we were judged to be a good school.

Giving children the best possible education and opportunities is at the centre of all that we do. We provide children with opportunities that enhance and enrich their learning, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Our school vision and values run though all elements of school life. We believe they are attributes that are essential for everyone to reach their potential and develop into active and inquisitive learners.

At Devonshire, our vision is for us all to be:

Determined to be lifelong learners and to be the best that we can be.

Positive in our outlook, showing pride in all that we do.

Supportive of everyone in the school community.

We promote the 6Rs (respect, resilience, relationships, reflectiveness, risk taking and resourcefulness) in all elements of school life; these are our values. We believe that these behaviours are essential for everyone to reach their potential and develop into active and inquisitive learners, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Visitors to Devonshire comment on the friendly and welcoming atmosphere in the school. I would welcome the opportunity to show you round our school.

Headteacher

Devonshire is a popular primary school located in South Sutton. We have got just under 700 children on roll, which includes children from Nursery to Year 6. We have bright and modern learning facilities which are well equipped for enabling children to reach their potential, inside and outside of the classroom. We have attractive grounds, which include a large playground, a playing field and a school garden.

When OFSTED visited in May 2019, they judged us to be a good school where there was a strong sense of community and staff and pupils reported that they were proud members of the school. Parents told the inspectors that their children love coming to school. 

Working for us will give you the opportunity to become a valued part of our school community. We are committed to enabling all members of our community, staff and children, to develop, learn and grow through the opportunities that we provide.

When we have vacancies, we are always keen to hear from enthusiastic practitioners who want to enhance our children’s outcomes, make a difference and develop their own practice.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare pf children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
