Welcome to Dunn Street Primary

Dunn Street Primary School, located in the heart of Jarrow, is a welcoming and inclusive learning community dedicated to nurturing the potential of every child. With a strong focus on academic excellence, personal development, and well-being, the school provides a safe and supportive environment where children are encouraged to grow, achieve, and thrive. We work closely with families and the wider community to create engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence. At Dunn Street, every child is valued, and every voice is heard.

We are incredibly proud of our North East heritage and the strong sense of community that runs through everything we do. Our dedicated team of staff work tirelessly to provide a safe, supportive and stimulating environment, where children are excited to come to school and inspired to learn.

From Early Years right through to Year 6, we offer a rich and balanced curriculum, with high expectations for all our pupils. Whether it’s through academic achievement, sporting success, creative expression or personal growth, we believe in recognising and celebrating every child’s strengths.

We also place a strong emphasis on developing the whole child – fostering resilience, empathy and confidence – so that when our pupils leave us, they do so not only as capable learners, but as kind and thoughtful young people ready to take their next steps.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. Whether you’re a prospective parent, a member of our wider community or just interested in finding out more about us, we hope you find what you’re looking for.
