Information for Parents - Darlington College

It is time for your son or daughter to decide on the next step of their learning journey. At Darlington College we are passionate about our students choosing a qualification that will lead on to a successful career, university or apprenticeship.

Parents’ Evenings

We keep in regular contact with parents and invite you in for discussions as and when required. A formal parents’ evening is held in March every year, where you will get the opportunity to meet tutors teaching your son/daughter and ask any questions you may have. You will also receive a report to give you an overview of your son or daughter’s progress.

Wellbeing and Safeguarding

We take the wellbeing and safety of our students very seriously. We strive to ensure a safe and welcoming environment in college, and have safeguarding and anti-bullying policies in place to ensure our young people and vulnerable adults studying with us, do so in a safe and secure environment.
