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

Our Collective Worship today was led by Reverend Steph, who led us through the act of remembrance. It was a poignant moment as we remembered the sacrifices made for us by our soldiers and how important the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month really is. The children respected the 2 minutes silence perfectly.
As part of remembrance, the children also created poppies to display in school.

The girls played brilliantly against tough opposition. Showing determination, positivity and perseverance, every girl on the team tried their best and were great sports! Well done and keep it up girls!

📸 We are making some changes to the way we post photos on Facebook. Our children are at the heart of everything we do; we want to respect their privacy and keep them safe online as technology and AI advances. With this in mind, we will no longer be posting front facing photos of our children here on Facebook. We will, however, post side facing and over the shoulder/back of head photos to continue celebrating the wonderful things they do. From now on, we will post our good news worship photos and other front facing photos on our private ClassDojo pages.
Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our children safe online in this ever-evolving digital world.
