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

We have had a wonderful first week back at St John's this week! I had the pleasure of seeing some lovely writing from our Reception children who were very proud of their sentences containing the 'oa' sound!
We have some exciting things coming up this term and we will send out a newsletter next week with important dates.
Have a lovely weekend!
