We hope that you find our website useful and prospective new parents are always warmly welcomed to come and view school.
It is by visiting our school that you truly experience the warm, nurturing environment that we offer our children.
In October 2013 Ofsted awarded Richard Durnings the Outstanding status in all areas.
Since that time, we have kept up the good work of providing all of our students with an excellent curriculum and atmosphere.
We have six Curriculum Drivers which are derived from ensuring our children leave us at the end of year 6 as happy, resilient, confident, respectful, independent individuals who also have a high standard of achievement and attainment.
If you would like a paper copy of any information found on our school website, please speak to the school office who will provide this free of charge.
Our school is very proud of our staff, students, parents, and governors.

At Richard Durning's the children are based 4 classes for the majority of the week.
The curriculum is organised so that the children can proceed to any level appropriate to their ability.
Nursery care is available from Monday to Friday from 9am to 3.30pm.
Nursery children spend time each day socialising with the Reception children in the Early Years Classroom and sometime in the Duckling Room/Early Years Outdoor Garden.
The curriculum and learning activities which we provide are carefully matched to each child's level of learning and needs.
One of the children's favorites is dinosaurs and unicorns.
Throughout the morning the children are provided with a healthy snack and get to play outside on the school field and outdoor play equipment or in the Early Years school garden.
We believe that 'Ducklings' is the perfect way to introduce your child slowly to school, enabling the transition from nursery school environment to school environment an easy and natural one.
