Welcome 

We hope our website offers you a genuine sense of life at Deal Parochial Church of England Primary school. Our pupils take great pride in their school and achievements, and we are continually striving for excellence to ensure the very best outcomes for every child.

At Deal Parochial, we are committed to nurturing each child’s unique talents and abilities. We provide a wide range of opportunities to help every pupil reach their full potential and become happy, confident, resilient, and enthusiastic learners.

We are a warm and inclusive community, and we recognise the vital role parents play in a child’s education. We actively encourage parental involvement and support children in taking ownership of their own learning journey.

Our vision is to create an exceptional school that serves the local community, where our core Christian values: trust, kindness, friendship, courage, respect and forgiveness—shine through in all that we do.

By supporting our children academically, socially, and emotionally within a strong Christian Ethos, we lay strong foundations for their futures. When they leave Deal Parochial, they do so with a rich, well-rounded education and a genuine love of learning. Our school motto, “To be the best that I can be- the way God intends,” is reflected throughout all aspects of school life.

Visitors often comment on the warm welcome they receive and the excellent behaviour of our pupils. We treat each child as an individual, celebrating their unique gifts and recognising their achievements.

As Headteacher, I feel honoured to lead this school and to work alongside such a dedicated and talented team of staff and governors. We would love for you to become part of our school community. Visits are warmly welcomed, and I would be delighted to give you a personal tour of our wonderful school.
