Our School
In our most recent Ofsted inspection, the school was graded as ‘Outstanding.’ We provide high-quality teaching from caring, conscientious staff who are committed to ensuring that every child reaches their full potential.
Christian values are fostered within our friendly school and we were rated ‘Outstanding’ in our most recent Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). We have links with Darlington Deanery and the Durham Diocese.
We are part of DND Learning Trust

Dear Parents/Carers,
As 2025 draws to a close, I would like to say thank you for your continued support this term. It has been as busy as ever, but the children have worked very hard and the results from the recent assessments are very positive.
If you did not get a chance to come and watch our superb performances this week (or if you wish to watch them again), they are now available to view on the school website by scrolling to the bottom of the home screen.
I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing the children back at school on Tuesday 6th January 2026.
