The Deanes aims to develop the whole child as well as focusing on academic achievement. We want our students to leave our school as fully rounded individuals who are resilient, have a love of learning, and who are not afraid to try new things. Our Challenger lessons are an integral part of this ethos, allowing our students to develop new skills and push themselves beyond their comfort zone.

In order to help to fund this initiative, the whole school is taking part in a 12.5 km sponsored walk on Tuesday 17th July. This will involve all staff and students.
