We are a large, long established school, situated in the heart of our community. We attract children and families from Darras Hall, wider Ponteland localities and Newcastle. We are proud to be part of Pele Trust and work closely with our colleagues in neighbouring schools to ensure that all of our pupils are provided with the very best possible educational experiences, from the age of 3 to 18.
Our school is continually developing and we endeavour to ensure that the experiences we offer our pupils are responsive to the ever changing world. It is our vision that our children leave Darras Hall as happy, successful, resilient young people, who are curious about their world and are respectful towards those they share it with. We were excited to become a Primary school in September 2017 and are exceptionally proud of our state of the art new school building, which opened in September 2018.
We aim to continually evaluate and develop the experiences that we provide for our children.
