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.
Two excellent sporting events organised by Darlington School Sport Partnership this week.
On Monday, it was the Year 3/4 Dodgeball Festival at The Dolphin Centre. Along with 15 other teams from across Darlington, the children had a fabulous afternoon planned and run by the Sport & Leisure Students at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College as part of their Event Unit.
Then today, a team from Years 5 and 6 had a great morning of Dodgeball at Longfield Academy.
Darlington Storm Basketball Club supported this event and anybody interested in playing Basketball should have a look at their website for training times and further information: darlingtonstorm.co.uk
Mr Rawlinson, who accompanied the children to both events, was very impressed by their teamwork, enthusiasm and behaviour - a credit to the school!

Yesterday evening, ten members of Year 6 joined together to form a community choir in collaboration with The Haven and St Mary's Church. They sang at the White Heifer as part of a Carols at the Pub event to launch the festive season!
Well done to all involved- you made a wonderful sound!

The children in Class 3 have been exploring contact and non-contact forces, including friction and magnetism and their effects. What a lot of fun they are having learning about forces!

**** IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YEAR 2 AFTER SCHOOL GYMNASTICS *****
Unfortunately, the after-school gymnastics club for Year 2 children is cancelled today as the coach has called to say she is unwell. All children who normally attend the session will need to be collected at the usual school finishing time.
If this causes any difficulties, please contact the school and we will do our best to support you.
Please either reply to the email sent about this earlier or phone the school office so we know you have received this information so we don't have to ring everyone individually.

I can't wait for this - Miss Cassidy and her team pull out all the stops to make this such as special day!
Any children in Reception to Class 6, who usually bring a packed lunch, are invited to have a school Christmas Lunch - they will bring home a form today which will also be emailed to everyone.

***UPDATE***
The tickets for tomorrow have been claimed. Tickets for next Tuesday's match still available
We have been given 2 season tickets (1 adult and 1 child) for all Darlington FC home games!
Their next home matches (at Blackwell Meadows) are tomorrow at 3pm against Spennymoor Town and then next Tuesday at 7.45pm against Curzon Ashton.
If you would like to take your child to either of these matches - please contact the office asap. They will be given to the first parents/carers who ring - I'll post an update when they've been claimed.
The season tickets must be returned on the next school day after the match so they can be passed on to the next family.
I will send out more information next next week about allocating the tickets for the rest of the season.

A parent handed me these gloves yesterday morning at the gate and asked me to pass them on - I spent all day trying to remember who it was and even visited every class to try to reunite them with their owner, but to no avail.
If it was you, or you recognise them, please either comment below, catch me this morning at the gate or pop into the office.
Many apologies!
