A Melrose Learning Trust School

Welcome to the St. Mary’s Cockerton Primary School website.

For an expression of interest form and further information, please email nursery@stmaryscockerton.org.uk

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.

Nine children from Class 4 took part in a Tri Golf Festival on Friday. To say most of them had never even held a golf club before, they were incredible - showing resilience and great team work!
Thanks as always to Darlington School Sport Partnership

We currently have an overflowing Lost Property Box - lots of school jumpers and cardigans, none of which are named making it almost impossible to return them to their owners.
Please call into the office if you are wondering where your childs uniform is as we probably have it! 😂
There are a few other distinctive items which we would love to return - please have a look through the photos.
