Darley Dene is a school where everyone should feel a strong sense of belonging, we achieve this through focusing on relationships and prioritising learning. 

Everyone working with us shares the belief that every child has unique worth and should be treated with unconditional positive regard. We all agree that every decision should be driven by the children’s needs and we believe it is right to uphold this even when it presents a challenge to adults.

We believe it is right that every adult in a child’s life, both at home and at school, should seek to support and champion them so that they can discover themselves, their own interests and passions, and become fulfilled adults.

At Darley Dene we believe it is right that all children should have access to opportunities to learn to read, write and work with numbers in various subjects across the curriculum. We agree it is right that these opportunities sit alongside learning that kindness, humility, acceptance and emotional intelligence make the world go round.

Our aim is for your child will leave us ready to contribute positively to society both emotionally and intellectually.
