Welcome to Darrington Church of England Primary School where our core values of Peace, Respect, and Friendship form the foundation of everything we do. As the Headteacher of this amazing school, I am honoured to be part of a community that embodies these values each day.

Our vision at Darrington is to "Shine, Share, Flourish." We aspire to empower our students to shine in their unique ways, share their knowledge and kindness with others, and ultimately, flourish into confident and compassionate individuals.

I am proud to share that our commitment to excellence has been recognised by both Ofsted and SIAMS. In 2019, Ofsted graded us as "Good," and in March 2023, SIAMS bestowed upon us the highest possible rating of "Excellent." These achievements reflect the dedication and hard work of our staff, students, and community.

At Darrington, we believe in nurturing not just academic excellence but also character, creativity, and curiosity. Our dedicated team is here to support your child's educational journey, fostering an environment of respect, inclusivity, and innovation.

Together, we embark on a journey of discovery, growth, and achievement. I invite you to explore our website, learn more about our programs, and join us in creating a place where Peace, Respect, and Friendship shine brightly, and where every individual has the opportunity to flourish.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We look forward to a rewarding and successful partnership in the years to come.

Warm regards,

Chris Lunn

Headteacher
