We were very sorry to hear the very sad news about a dearly valued member of our school community.  Darius Popan was a popular, kind and talented young man, with his whole future ahead of him.    

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.  Darius will be missed so much by all who knew him.    

We are currently working with other agencies, including the Local Authority and Police in response to this event.    

Help and support, is available to our students and staff at this difficult time for our school community.  

Please follow the links below or contact the Academy using our Safeguarding Alert Button (which can be found on the school website) should you feel your child requires any emotional support at this time. Pupil Safety – Don Valley Academy
