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.
Such excitement in school today as the children spend the day with the teachers they will have in September.
Don't forget to come in via the main entrance when you have collected your children at hometime if you would like to pop in and meet their teacher and visit their new classrooms.
It was lovely to have our Reception new starters for September in for their visits too and we all hope our Year 6s are enjoying their transition days at their secondary schools.

Class 1 have been eagerly awaiting the emergence of their first butterfly and today was the day! Thankfully, they had prepared a beautiful butterfly garden yesterday linked to their science topic of animal habitats.
We hope our butterflies enjoy their new home.

Year 2 also went to a QuadKids event run by Darlington School Sport Partnership this week. Everyone participated in 4 different events, long distance run, sprint, howler throw and standing long jump. Year 2 represented St Mary's wonderfully and listened well to the staff at the event.
Well done everyone!

We took House Team Assembly to the classes this week as the hall is out of use as the nursery gets built. The House Captains gave the weekly announcements and children heard all about the fundraising bookmarks. We ran out of time for Classes 5 and 6 so will catch up with them on Monday.
We also had a very special visitor in school today - Edith the 8 month old tortoise!

Recently, a group of children came to show me the 264 bookmarks they have handmade and laminated to sell to raise money for school!
I had no idea about this and was speechless for quite sometime! Their initiative, hardwork and love for their school has overwhelmed me.
Please support their project from Monday - the bookmarks are lovely and there are so many different designs.
