Welcome to the Darlington School Sport Partnership

Darlington School Sport Partnership is based at Eastbourne Sports Complex in Darlington. The School Games Organiser is Alison Raw and the Darlington School Games Assistant is Sara Wrangham. We work with Eight Secondary, Special, Alternate Provision Schools and 30 Primary/Infant Schools within the Borough of Darlington.

We are committed to providing the best and positive sporting and physical activity opportunities for all young people; to broaden their range of experiences, increase participation, build confidence and contribute to whole school improvement through the vehicle of School Sport, Physical Activity and Leadership Pathways. We also deliver the School Games Programme to provide appropriate and meaningful competition at a County Level.

We have also held our Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, boys and girls badminton competitions over the last two weeks.These events were competitive but all the teams played with fantastic approach, worked together and in some case shared teams! We think new friendships have been made and it highlights that the social side of taking part in sport is as important as the actual competition 😃Well done to all taking part and good luck to the teams representing Darlington in the Tees Valley finals in January.Your School Games Haughton Academy HummersknottAcademy Carmel College St Aidan’s Church of England Academy Polam Hall School See MoreSee Less
