You can come and take a look at our Outdoor library on the school yard at the end of the school day. Details have been shared on Class Dojo. Thank you Peak Stores Premier

A huge thank you to all our lovely customers who tell us to ‘pop the change in the pot’. Together with your generosity and a contribution from ourselves we have handed a cheque for £350 to Duckmanton Primary and Nursery School to help fund their outdoor library 📚 What a lovely community we are able to serve 🥰

As a part of our transition theme 'Reach for the Stars' we are helping the children to think big, explore their aspirations, and learn about the many exciting careers they could choose in the future.

We would love to involve parents, carers and former students! If you have a career or job that you would be willing to share with the children, we would be delighted for you to come in and talk about:

What your job involves
How you got into your profession
What skills or interests helped you along the way
What children might need to do if they wanted to follow a similar career

Short, informal talks are absolutely fine, and we welcome parents from all types of careers — every job helps show our children that there are many different paths to success.

If you are interested or would like more information, please let us know. Thank you for supporting us in inspiring the children to truly reach for the stars!

Please share this with anyone who might be interested.

Thank you to everyone who contributed as part of our Interfaith Week learning. And thank you to everyone within the NHS working over the Christmas period to help keep us all safe.

A lovely example of ‘together we serve’.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate from all of us at DPS
