Appointment of Headteacher

Darton Super School

At last! After years of consultation and planning, the £28 million Darton Super School (or Advanced Learning Centre) is now under construction. The new school building will be built at the far side of the existing site and open in February 2011. Additionally in September 2011 Darton will become an 11 - 19 school, with post-16 students (or 'Sixth Form').

This is tremendous news. Of course, the mark of an outstanding school is down to the quality of the teachers and other staff. You'll be aware of the progress the school has made in that direction over the last year or so. However, there is no doubt that we have been constrained by our current buildings & facilities. Well no more! By the middle of next academic year (2010-2011), we will have superb learning, sports & community facilities.

2008-2009 was a real year of improvement for Darton High School. Now we are confidently expecting the best ever GCSE results this August (2010). We're fully staffed with high quality teachers for September. And now we hear that we'll have the buildings to match. Super School indeed!
