A Melrose Learning Trust School

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

If you or anyone you know have a child born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021 they are eligible to start school in September 2025.

We would be honoured if you were considering our school and would love to meet you and show you round.

Please contact the school office by phone (01325 380758) or email (office@stmaryscockerton.org.uk) to arrange a visit, tour and chat.

Applications must be made to Darlington Borough Council School Admissions by 19th January 2025.

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.

Yesterday, the children in Class 5 completed a virtual interactive workshop hosted by The Smallpeice Trust which is a charity that inspires young people to pursue careers in science and engineering.

The “Rubber Band Car” lesson explores the design of rubber band powered cars. The children worked in teams of “engineers” to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items. They had to build a wheeled chassis, add the vehicle body, test the vehicle and evaluate the results.

All the children really enjoyed the experience and demonstrated great perseverance while building and testing their models!
