St. Mary’s Cockerton Church of England Primary School Newton Lane, Darlington, DL3 9EX
Be the hands and feet of Jesus
WELCOME TO
St. Mary’s Cockerton Primary School
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.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow ready for the start of the Summer Term.
A reminder that the changes to the timings of the school day begin tomorrow for children in Reception to Year 6 (no changes for Nursery).
At 8.40am the playground and Reception gates will open. All the children will say goodbye to their adults at the gate and will walk straight into school to get into class for registration at 8.50am.
The gates will close promptly at 8.50am.
Any children arriving after that time will need to be taken to the main entrance by an adult who will be asked for the reason for their lateness. Up to 9.00am this will be marked in the register as 'Late' but after 9.20am it will be marked as 'Unauthorised absence'.
Hometime arrangements will not change, except that the end of the school will be 3.20pm with the playground gates opening at 3.15pm.
Teachers will not be available to talk to before school as they will be with the children, but messages can be left with the member of staff at the gate or at the office. ... See MoreSee Less

After a thorough sort out, only 5 of the 70 items in the Lost Property Box are named - these will be washed and returned to their owners after the Easter holiday.
That left 2 coats, 3 caps, 8 pairs of gloves, 1 pair of tights, 4 hats, 15 school jumpers and 32 cardigans which have all been donated to the School Uniform Exchange run by Darlington Borough Council and Darlington Cares
PLEASE name items before the children return to school after Easter ... See MoreSee Less

At the end of a very busy term, I would like to thank our wonderful children, staff, and families for all their hard work, enthusiasm, support and care.
At this time of year, we celebrate Easter – a message of hope, new life, and fresh beginnings.
Although we weren’t able to have our Easter Service in the hall today, the whole school did come together with Father Damon, Mother Jess and Mother Moji via Teams.
Whether you are celebrating Easter, another tradition, or simply enjoying the spring break, I hope the holidays bring rest and joy.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back for the summer term, refreshed, smiling, and (hopefully) not entirely made of Easter eggs!
Wishing you all a happy and peaceful break. ... See MoreSee Less
