Welcome to Diseworth C of E Primary School

Small school; big heart; great start...near East Midlands Airport

We are very proud to welcome you to Diseworth C of E Primary School, either as an existing parent/carer/ prospective parent/carer or as an interested member of the community.

We are a small, rural school, located near to East Midlands Airport, in North West Leicestershire. The size of our school enables staff to know each child individually and incredibly well. All children work hard to be: confident, compassionate, independent, life- long learners and be proud of their own ability. Our pupils will be well-prepared socially, morally, spiritually and intellectually for the next stage of their education. We greatly value the partnership between home and school so that children leave our school as happy, confident, healthy and responsible young people with a highly developed sense of  duty and resilience. We recognise that all pupils are individuals and have their own needs, which are supported and developed accordingly.

Our Christian values of compassion, courage, kindness, truthfulness, community and endurance underpin everything that we do and support our vision of ‘Let your light shine’ (Matthew 5:16) to inspire and motivate the whole school. We believe that every child and adult can shine and that this can be a benefit for us all. We recognise that we are all special and have unique talents, which we nurture so that each of us has the opportunity to become the best person we can be. We want to encourage our children to aspire to great things and for the light of their lives to shine and make a difference in their classrooms, throughout the school, at home and in their own community.

The school has a dedicated team of staff working hard to raise standards and ensure children have excellent opportunities in an enjoyable environment of mutual respect, care and discipline. We are developing an exciting and innovative curriculum which will give all pupils the opportunity to be successful, develop a wide range of knowledge and skills, prepare children for the future and give opportunities to work both inside and outside the classroom on a regular basis.  Each child’s individual contribution to the school community is recognised and appreciated. Our children have some fantastic opportunities including weekly swimming lessons, a large playing field and play area, sports coach and music specialist.

Throughout their time at Diseworth Primary School, children are taught in classes of mixed age and ability, where they are encouraged to work together as well as independently. High quality personalised learning opportunities enable our children to thrive, providing them with the necessary experience and skills to achieve their full potential.

Children’s mental health and wellbeing has always been of great importance at Diseworth Primary, using experienced staff, we have a well-established programme of supporting positive mental health in all classes on a daily basis.

We currently have spaces available in all year groups. If, after visiting our website, you wish to find out more about our school, please do not hesitate to make an appointment with our Office Manager (Mrs Brookes) and we would be happy to show you around. We are sure that you will see for yourself why we are so proud of our children and school.  If you require more information or papercopies from this website, please do not hestiate to ask at our school office.
