Welcome to DBSEH Primary School
At DBSEH Primary School, our imaginative, engaging, and creative concept-based curriculum creates outstanding teaching and learning opportunities. Rooted in the National Curriculum for England and uniquely adapted to our environment, children are challenged with conceptual questions linked to themes such as ‘Change,’ ‘Truth,’ and ‘Opportunity.’
Our lessons incorporate a values-based learning approach that fosters international-mindedness, empathy, and a deep understanding of the world. DBS Primary children are both environmentally conscious and practical in their approach to problem-solving. Moral, Social, and Cultural Studies are embedded within our curriculum, integral to developing well-rounded individuals.
We are proud to integrate the Positive Education Enhanced Curriculum, focusing on student wellbeing. This curriculum enhances our commitment to nurturing the whole child, emphasizing personal growth, resilience, and mental health alongside academic achievement.

Primary Headteacher
At DBSEH Primary School, we are dedicated to creating lifelong learners who are curious, adaptable, and equipped with the skills they need to succeed in an ever-changing world. Join us at DBSEH Primary School, where education is a journey of discovery, growth, and inspiration.
Our flexible learning skills allow teachers to respond not only to current affairs but also to the children’s passions and interests. Personalised and bespoke lessons are aligned to each child’s next steps, skilfully planned across the curriculum. Ongoing formative assessment enables responsive and adaptive teaching, and a triangulation of assessment data helps build a comprehensive, holistic picture of the ‘whole child.’
Our students are 6C learners: critical thinkers, communicators, cooperative, caring, creative, and courageous in all they do. These learning skills are intrinsic to preparing children for each stage of their academic journey and beyond. Learning experiences at DBS Primary School are contextualised, relevant, and purposeful, ensuring that students not only acquire knowledge but also understand its application in real-world contexts.
Academic rigour is woven into enriched opportunities throughout all phases of education within the Primary School. This ensures that children achieve their full potential in core subjects as well as a wide range of creative and expressive subjects. The concept curriculum ensures that all of our students are enthused by what they are learning, and our teachers are passionate about what they are teaching.
