Danesholme Junior School
Children enter Danesholme Junior School aged seven (Year 3) and leave aged eleven (Year 6). The majority of our intake is from our sister school, Danesholme Infant School, with whom we share a site. The school is located in the heart of the Danesholme estate in Corby. There are approximately 380 children on roll, with three classes in each Year Group and four classes in Year 5.
Danesholme Junior School is committed to provide a positive, supportive learning environment for children and staff where:
a. Social, personal and academic skills are developed.
b. Self-esteem and self-reliance are nurtured.
c. Standards of excellence for life and for work are promoted in all areas.
To nurture these principles we try to encompass the following aims:
a. School and learning should be enjoyable, productive and an integral part of every child's life where a child can develop empathy with his/her surroundings.
b. School should create a caring and happy environment so that all children experience success and achievement.
c. School should recognise each member as an individual with particular needs and develop a background where each member can join with ideas and share experiences and impressions with others.
d. School should offer a well balanced and broad based curriculum that will ensure that all targets set by the National Curriculum are available to all children and should include academic, cultural, social, spiritual and physical development and growth and prepare them for the experiences, opportunities and responsibilities of secondary education and adult life.
