St. John’s is a very special inclusive school that provides the community with a family, as well as our children with an outstanding education. We believe passionately that every child should aim for excellence and can fulfil their individual potential. Our main aim is to increase our children’s life chances – children from Darlington can achieve great things.

Our school provides a safe, positive and encouraging environment where children feel listened to, valued and cared for. Christian values are at the heart of everything we do. We have strong partnerships with parents and carers, who we believe are vital to the education of their children, and we look forward to seeing you on many occasions to celebrate successes, discuss progress and discuss how you can become involved in your child’s learning journey.

It is a privilege to lead a team of such dedicated and talented staff, supported by committed and experienced governors, who work tirelessly to provide the best possible education for our children. I am proud to serve the local community and represent the wonderful families that attend our school. In the current climate of change, we will continue to live out our mission and ensure that our children are, “Guided by God to be the best that you can be.”
