Welcome

Welcome to Darton Primary School!

From Jacquie Parr, Headteacher

Welcome to the Darton Primary School website, which we hope you will find informative and exciting. We are a large school on the outskirts of Barnsley, in South Yorkshire. Barnsley is an area of regeneration and the logo ‘Remaking Barnsley’ reflects the commitment to the future.

I am proud to have been the Headteacher of this happy and welcoming school for ten years. The current school was a brand new PFI build which opened in June 2007. The facilities of the school include state of the art technology including wireless facilities and an IT suite. The sporting facilities are excellent with multi-use games areas for tennis, football, hockey, netball etc.

We are a popular school catering for pupils from 3 to 11 years old. We are a successful school with a large teaching, support and administrative staff, committed to “Creating a Foundation for Future Success” and the every child matters agenda.

We have a supportive governing body representing parents and the local community, which is very involved in the life of the school.

OFSTED 2007 commented "In this good school pupils are happy and self-assured. They are socially responsible and abide by a good moral code. This means that they get on well with others, have
positive attitudes to school – attendance is above average – and they really enjoy
the fun of learning."

We hope you enjoy browsing the website and if you have any comments please e mail us at darton.primary@barnsley.org
