Our school is a place where all are welcomed and invited to build a community where God’s love is shared to enable positive engagement, action and education; allowing children, staff and pupils to be inspired to raise their eyes, open their minds and explore the world God created. Participating in God’s mission of love to both the local community and the wider world, we live fully as global neighbours. This work has been externally recognised and led us to be awarded the Bronze Global Neighbours Award by Christian Aid.
We are located on the west side of Darlington in the Cockerton Village area. We are a single form entry school and accommodate around 210 children in school. We have a wide catchment and we take children from all around the surrounding area and we feed into all the local secondary schools.
If you would like to visit us or would like more information about the school, please get in touch with the school office.
Andrew, Chris and Kef certainly made the most of the lovely weather - great progress on Day 1!

As part of both Global Month of Volunteering (May) and National Great Outdoors Month (June), Amazon Darlington have teamed up with The Literacy Trust to get children reading & active outdoors!
Amazon have donated in excess of 500 books to be bagged up and sealed to protect from the elements and then hidden in South Park Darlington on the evening of June 22nd 2024. These will then be ready for primary school children from the local area to find, take home and enjoy the following morning (Sunday 23rd June).
To respect the park, foliage and planted areas books will not be hidden in areas where anyone could damage the park.
500+ books will be hidden in the park and these will be on an entirely first come-first served basis – it is hoped that each child only takes one book home each so as to leave enough for everyone to find one.
The books cover all ages between 4 – 11.
Amazon are supplying and hiding the books the evening before but will not be present on the day.

Year 5 are nearly at the end of their topic on the Ancient Greeks and have thoroughly enjoyed their learning!
This week they completed their art project on portraits. The final stage was to adapt their self-portraits into a Greek god or goddess. I'm sure you'll agree that these look fabulous!

We are all very excited that the installation of our new Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) starts on Tuesday!
We are very fortunate to have amazing school grounds but unfortunately our main school field is on the flood plain of Cocker Beck and is sometimes out of use as it quickly becomes waterlogged after rainfall.
There is an area further round that used to be raised beds, but the timber frames of these have all rotted and the area has been out of bounds for many months. This area, however, never floods so the MUGA, with its artificial grass, will mean we have an outdoor space that can be used all year round!
Pentagon Playgrounds will be on site for approximately 4 weeks. They have visited the site, completed thorough risk assessment and all other checks.
The car park spaces nearest school are needed for access so cannot be used and will be coned off so if you are bringing to or collecting from Fun Club please do not use them.
Staff will be present, but while you are waiting before or after school, please keep all children away fencing, skips, machinery etc.
I am delighted that the work can be completed before the end of term so our current Year 6 children get to use the space before they leave.

Two very special Gold Tokens were awarded in House Team Assembly this afternoon. One of our children is leaving next week and while we will all be very sad to say goodbye, he has two very special friends who have supported him brilliantly over the last 5 and a half years who will miss him terribly.
Class 2 stormed to the top of the Spelling Shed league this week with a very impressive total - well done. Congratulations to the top 10 'Spelling Shedders' - amazing effort!

Congratulations to the Blue House Team for earning the most tokens this week. There's a bonus token on offer for anyone who can tell me on Tuesday why their House Team song, Mr Blue Sky, was in the news this week.
