“When I started secondary school in 2006, Darwen Moorland High School was under special measures. Over the summer the assembly hall had been burnt down in an arson attack. Most reports about the school in local newspapers were negative, and students were often treated in the same way.
By the time I left school, Darwen Aldridge Community Academy was one of the most improved schools in the country, it was in a multi-million pound building in Darwen town centre, and it contained one of the best Sixth Forms in the North West of England.
Not only was our education transformed, but our community was too. It’s hard to explain how grateful I am to the Academy.”
Liam Dargan, former student at Darwen Aldridge Community Academy
