School Description

The school does not meet requirements on the publication of information about the content of its curriculum in each academic year for every subject on its website. Darton College is larger than the average-size secondary school. The principal was appointed in 2014 and is a national leader of education (NLE). The Barnsley Alliance has brokered support from local schools, including Penistone Grammar School and Horizon Community College. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups or who speak English as an additional language is well below the national average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium is well above the national average. The proportion of pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities is above average. The Inspection report: Darton College, 18–19 October 2017 Page 10 of 13 proportion of pupils with an education, health and care plan is also above the national average. The school meets the government’s 2016 floor standards, which sets the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The school has been identified by the Department for Education as a ‘coasting school’ because the standards pupils reached over the last three years have not been below the national standard. A small proportion of Year 11 pupils attend Barnsley College.
