About Our School

Darrington School is situated behind St. Luke’s CE Church in the residential village of Darrington , near Pontefract. After exploring our website you might like to visit us, find out more and see us at work - please feel free to get in touch.

The school is co-educational and caters for children from 4 - 11 years old with a preschool on site.

We are committed to the continuity and progression of your child's education. During their years at Darrington, we hope that children will enjoy the stimulating and caring learning environment we create and that their true potential, both socially and academically can be reached.

We believe in a firm partnership between school, home and the local community. Our special links to the Church of England place a Christian ethos at the heart of our school.

The school is well resourced, with a computer suite containing 20 PCs and interactive whiteboards in all classrooms. We have two playground areas and a large playing field. There is also a conservation garden to one side of the school containing both a pond and nature area.

At Darrington we pride ourselves on promoting a healthy lifestyle. We encourage healthy eating and provide fruit for children. We also provide opportunities to participate in sporting activities and after school clubs.

We are a successful school with the Active Mark, Healthy Schools award and we have many trophies.
