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.
All staff at 3.30pm!!!!!!
I'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supports and cares for the children in our school family. You are a truly magnificent team and I am so proud to have you all as colleagues.
Have a wonderful summer, from Mrs Aitken xxxx

We finished with a wonderful rendition of our school song, 'Sunrise, Sunset' and then enjoyed some time outside together as it got SO hot in the hall!

We're nearly at the end of the year, so just a couple of points to get us to through tomorrow:
We have a LOT of lost property - please call into the office if you think items may belong to your child. There are a couple of coats and jackets in amongst it all. Anything left that isn't named will go to Darlington Uniform Exchange next week.
The children may come in non-uniform tomorrow if they wish. Year 6 may prefer to wear their school uniform and Leavers Hoodies for one last time though!
At 2.50pm, the parents/carers of Year 6 are invited to come into the playground to meet their children as they leave for the final time. At 3.00pm the rest of the school will make a tunnel to cheer them out and say goodbye.
The other classes will then go to their hometime lines as usual and I will let in the rest of the parents/carers.

We are so pleased that the children in Year 6 were able to have their final Sports Day after their very special Leavers' Assembly. The traditional water race was a highlight as always!

Third time lucky! We waited until the afternoon so the field had a chance to dry out following the previous day's heavy rainfall so finally Classes 3,4 and 5 could have their Sports Day.
Class 6 are having their's this morning and then the Sports Day trophy can finally be presented to the winning House Team tomorrow!
