Our Team 2025-26
It is important that all adults working with children understand that the nature of their work and the responsibilities related to it, place them in a position of trust. The Staff Code of Conduct provides clear advice on appropriate and safe behaviours for all staff working in our school.

After a thorough sort out, only 5 of the 70 items in the Lost Property Box are named - these will be washed and returned to their owners after the Easter holiday.
That left 2 coats, 3 caps, 8 pairs of gloves, 1 pair of tights, 4 hats, 15 school jumpers and 32 cardigans which have all been donated to the School Uniform Exchange run by Darlington Borough Council and Darlington Cares
PLEASE name items before the children return to school after Easter ... See MoreSee Less

At the end of a very busy term, I would like to thank our wonderful children, staff, and families for all their hard work, enthusiasm, support and care.
At this time of year, we celebrate Easter – a message of hope, new life, and fresh beginnings.
Although we weren’t able to have our Easter Service in the hall today, the whole school did come together with Father Damon, Mother Jess and Mother Moji via Teams.
Whether you are celebrating Easter, another tradition, or simply enjoying the spring break, I hope the holidays bring rest and joy.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back for the summer term, refreshed, smiling, and (hopefully) not entirely made of Easter eggs!
Wishing you all a happy and peaceful break. ... See MoreSee Less
