Darkley Primary School

At Darkley Primary School, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that allows our students to thrive and reach their full potential. Our school is situated in the heart of the Darkley community, and we are deeply committed to the education and well-being of every child within our care.

Our Mission

Our mission at Darkley Primary School is to provide a safe, caring, and stimulating environment that supports and challenges our students to achieve their full potential. We strive to create a culture of inclusivity, where every child feels valued and respected, and where they are encouraged to develop into autonomous learners who are equipped with the skills necessary for lifelong learning.

Our Aims

Our school's aims are guided by a desire to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that is relevant to the Education Reform (N.I) Order, 1989. We aim to create a happy and stimulating environment that encourages each child to become self-disciplined, self-confident, and independent within a caring, orderly, and safe environment.

We aim to foster a desire to learn and take responsibility for one's own learning, while also encouraging parents to be actively involved in their child's education. We also strive to help children deepen their Christian faith and live it out, and to develop strong, positive links with the local community.

Curriculum and Assessment

Our curriculum is designed to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, and social development of our students, as well as their intellectual, physical, and emotional well-being. We strive to provide a range of high-quality learning experiences that promote achievement and develop skills for lifelong learning.

Health and Well-being

We take the health and well-being of our students very seriously, providing a range of opportunities for physical activity and promoting healthy eating habits. We also recognize the importance of emotional well-being and provide support for students who may be experiencing difficulties.

Inclusive Education

We are committed to providing an inclusive education that values and respects the diversity of our students. We believe that every child has the right to access a high-quality education, and we strive to create a culture of inclusivity that values diversity and promotes understanding and acceptance.

Parental Involvement

We believe that parental involvement is crucial to a child's success, and we encourage parents to be actively involved in their child's education. We provide opportunities for parents to get involved in school life, including events and activities that celebrate our students' achievements and talents.
