DARLINGTON was confirmed as the location for Treasury North this week, with some 750 civil servants expected to make the move up North from London.

Many making the journey may be uprooting families and will want to know where the best schools in the town are to get little ones settled in as quickly as possible.

The Northern Echo has pulled together a list of primary schools within three miles of Darlington town centre, where the new Treasury office will likely be based. 

Organised by most recently related by the education watchdog Ofsted, here are the 19 schools rated good. No schools within three miles were outstanding.
