"AVOID"

This school is so bad. Avoid at all costs if your child wants an education. Both of my children went there and it got worse and worse. It's just for kids with behavioural problems that they can't manage or don't want to.

"Outstanding school"

I had a child with ADHD and Autism and the school was brilliant with him and we got a EHCP , they supported me all the way through it .
All the teachers go above and beyond to help the children in learning and deal with any issues too .
I couldn’t recommend Outwood Primary Academy Darfield enough they are outstanding.
