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.

A long wait for a late bus didnt stop the children in Reception having a fabulous day at Hopetown Darlington yesterday.

They started by looking around the museum at the trains and listening to their leader for the day, Sarah, who was full of facts and brought with her some exciting props such as a train drivers hat and signaling flags for the children to use. They had great fun!

After their tasty lunches, they spent the afternoon in the Wagon Woods play area. The childrens confidence to run, climb and explore independently was impressive.

The childrens behaviour was exemplary and a credit to their families.
An amazing day for all!
