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.
In just four after school sessions with Mrs O’Neill, these wonderful children learnt a full dance routine to Joel Corry’s ‘Head & Heart’ as part of Tees Valley Let’s Dance project organised by Darlington School Sport Partnership.
Full video coming soon, but for now here’s the full routine - well done everyone!!
Huge thanks to dance coach, Alison, for coaching us via video each week.

World Book Day is the reading for FUN charity!
They champion the fun of reading, because it seriously improves lives. Reading for fun is the single biggest indicator that a child will grow up to enjoy a happier and more successful life.
But here’s the challenge, it’s at an all-time low, with only 1 in 3 children now saying they enjoy reading. We believe children are more likely to read if they enjoy it, so we’re on a mission to encourage them to see reading as an entertaining, social and fun thing to do. We want more children to grow up with a life-long, life-changing habit of reading for fun, and all the benefits this brings.
Please see the photo below to see how we will be celebrating our love of reading this year.

Class 4 have been learning dance in PE and have developed some fantastic Samba skills! From some very shy beginnings, the children have really gained confidence to perform their moves. They have learned samba step, turn, shoulder shimmy and box step. They have then developed their own routines using these steps.
Well done Class 4!
