Headteacher's Welcome

As the proud Headteacher of Donisthorpe Primary School, it is a privilege to welcome you to our school community.

Situated in the heart of the National Forest, Donisthorpe is more than just a school; we are at the centre of our community, offering a safe, happy and welcoming environment where every child is valued and encouraged to flourish.

Our vision is simple yet ambitious: we want our children to be happy, safe, and nurtured, with the confidence to take on new challenges and the resilience to reach their full potential. We set high expectations for all, knowing that with the right support and encouragement, every child can achieve great things.
At Donisthorpe, we are proud of our values — Positive, Ambitious, Nurturing — which are woven through everything we do. We believe education is strongest when school and home work hand-in-hand, and we greatly value the involvement of our parents and carers in supporting their child’s learning journey.

Our committed and dedicated staff team work tirelessly to provide an engaging, broad and high-quality curriculum. Alongside academic learning, children experience opportunities that spark curiosity, develop creativity, and build character. With first-class care and encouragement, our pupils grow not only as learners but as kind, respectful and responsible individuals.

The warm and supportive ethos of our school ensures that children of all abilities thrive, develop confidence and take pride in their achievements. Our pupils enjoy contributing to school life, care for one another, and are proud to be part of the Donisthorpe family.

Choosing the right start to your child’s education is very important. We hope that the information on our website will be useful to you in making your decision. If you have any further queries, or would like to visit us, please do get in touch with our office to make an appointment to view our wonderful school. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing with you all that makes Donisthorpe Primary such a special place to learn and grow.
