About our school:

At Duckmanton Primary, we pride ourselves on being a nurturing and joyful learning environment where children are truly at the heart of everything we do. Our most recent Ofsted inspection (2022) described us as “a caring, happy school,” with leaders referring to it as “an oasis for the children.” Pupils themselves speak warmly of their teachers, describing them as supportive, kind, and encouraging.

Our ethos is built around our core TRUSTED values: Togetherness, Respect, Understanding, Safety, Truthfulness, Excellence, and Determination. These values shape every aspect of school life, guiding both staff and pupils to work collaboratively and strive for excellence. They also align closely with the Redhill Academy Trust’s principles, ensuring our children receive the very best educational experience.

Located in the heart of an ex-mining village, Duckmanton Primary is deeply rooted in a strong sense of community. Our school logo proudly reflects the village’s rich mining heritage, symbolising the strength and unity that define our school culture.
