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.
This morning, the children in Class One stumbled upon a letter from a mysterious and unknown creator. They discovered the letter was in fact from Professor Klunk and he was someone who had been collecting their drawing club creations all throughout Reception and into Class One.
He needed their help to be vigilant and find the Magic Dream Machine whilst keeping it safely hidden from the Greap. The children searched high and low and discovered some suspicious items along the way. At one point the children were sure they had been, “hoodwinked” but they remained determined and eventually located the mysterious machine.
Great collaboration and mystery solving Class One!

Class Two have been learning about how to create different textures in art. They have been creating some poppy pictures using the techniques that they have been learning about. Everyone used a variety of mediums to make their pictures. They could use felt pen, crayon, pencil, oil pastel and chalk pastel, some children mixed their mediums and used different ones together. I think they have done an amazing job! Well done Class Two!

What an incredible job the Think Global Act Local group have done this week to involve the whole school in the celebration of Black History Month. The atmosphere in the hall this afternoon as we all sang and danced together was fabulous!
