Darlinghurst Design

A holistic design that enables all children to develop the knowledge and skills to improve educational excellence and life chances and possess the attributes to be good citizens, who show a sense of humanity, responsibility and belonging – succeeding in a complex world.

We have an ambitious and inclusive curriculum that is responsive to need, supporting academic and personal development.  We develop learning and life skills and weave social, moral, spiritual and cultural development throughout learning and daily academy life. 

Academy values are central to our design

We promote British values 

Darlinghurst Direction.

Children and staff, follow the Darlinghurst Direction. This mantra is followed to ensure consistency and shared responsibility. The Direction is a guide and outlines the three rules and actions that we take.  It incorporates routines and habits, behaviours, participation, support and challenge, ambition and more. Put simply, this is the way we do it here.  It links to our relational approach and creates a culture of certainty and consistency.

Darlinghurst Difference

With an ambition for all, we strive to make a difference. Through experiences and support our children gain a full range of skills and abilities that they need to be successful now and in their years ahead. Their academic and personal development enables them to be respectful, confident and self-assured. They are empowered and equipped to be: Successful learners, Prepared for Change, Active citizens, Confident Individuals and Effective Contributors
