Darton Academy is an exciting place to learn and as soon as you enter the building you can feel a buzz of enthusiasm. There is a sense of purpose, the academy is calm and orderly, with state-of-the-art facilities. We are a close-knit community, and we pride ourselves on knowing our pupils well and doing our utmost to ensure everyone fulfils their true potential.
We aim to ensure that our pupils can learn in a safe and supportive environment, where everyone values academic achievement and has a positive attitude to learning. As a result of our journey of continuous improvement Darton Academy continues to outperform all other local schools and is now the highest-performing school in the area. According to the Department for Education, Darton Academy achieved a Progress 8 score of +0.37 last year—the highest in Barnsley. Pupils at Darton Academy made nearly half a grade more progress than students with similar KS2 starting points.
Provisional local authority data confirms that once again, Darton Academy pupils have achieved results well above both local and national averages. This year, the Academy has also secured the highest attainment in the area for 5+ (strong passes in English and mathematics). We are proud that 65% of pupils achieved a Grade 5 or above in both English and mathematics combined and 79% achieved a Grade 4 or above.
In February 2023 Ofsted graded us Good with an outstanding personal development offer. We strongly encourage our pupils to take part in enrichment activities so they can discover all their strengths and talents, and run over forty clubs, as well as pupil support sessions and interventions. We also regularly organise whole school events and educational visits so that our pupils have a broad experience of learning beyond the classroom.
We believe in rewarding pupils for good behaviour, attendance and achievement and run multiple celebration events throughout the year, from “Super September” to our summer “DartFest”. We place learning at the heart of everything we do and use our core values of respect, responsibility, and resilience to build a positive ethos.
