The school is a happy, stimulating and caring place and we expect high standards of behaviour and good manners throughout the school.We would be pleased to show you around Darton Primary School, for you to feel the friendly atmosphere here, give you the opportunity to meet the staff and see the children as they work and play together.

Every child deserves to be successful, and our role is to help them blossom, grow and believe that everything is possible.

Every child, every family, every day.

Vision:
St Mary’s Academy Trust is a family of schools founded upon our key values, delivering educational excellence in order that each child thrives within our safe and nurturing environment.

Values:
Here at St. Mary’s Academy Trust we believe in every child, every family, every day.

The best for our children is central to every decision made. Our family of schools are committed to our trust values of community, courage and compassion.

Community – we develop positive relationships with the wider community, built upon mutual trust, cohesion, removing barriers and providing memorable lifelong experiences for all.

Courage – with enthusiasm, shared responsibility and pride, we push boundaries to deliver educational excellence and to challenge injustices, inequality and the status quo to ensure that a person’s background does not shape who they are or what they can achieve.

Compassion – in all that we do, including when faced with challenge or adversity, we treat all people with respect, demonstrating in our actions and behaviour empathy, kindness and tolerance for all.
