A Melrose Learning Trust School

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

For an expression of interest form and further information, please email nursery@stmaryscockerton.org.uk

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.

Mrs ONeill and our team had a wonderful (although very wet and cold) day at the Darlington Girls Football Cup 2025 today.
They were full of stories when they came home - amazing goals, tremendous saves and of course, great teamwork!
Well done everyone!
Thanks as always to our good friends at Darlington School Sport Partnership

With all the excitement of World Book Day last week, I forgot to post the weekly attendance summary. Looks like we need WBD every week - our best week so far!!

I have just received a lovely email from Asda to say that they are sending the school a cheque for £171.93 following their 'Cashpot for Schools' project.
Thank you if you registered for our school to receive funding following your shopping at Asda - we will add it to the World Book Day sponsor money to get even more lovely new books for school!

On that note, please could all sponsor money be in school by Wednesday so we can get it banked and order the books! Many thanks 🥰

In the words of Mrs Dowson, these children smashed it on Friday night with their performance of Were all on this together at the annual Mayors Song Contest. Such an amazing experience for them all! Official photos to follow.

You may have noticed that emails from school have started looking a little different. This is because we are in the process of transferring over to a new provider (Compass Education). These emails are genuine and not a scam. ... See MoreSee Less

Huge thank you to Jo from Identity Theatre who worked with Class One to pull up an Enormous Turnip, went to the forest with Reception to visit the Seven Dwarfs and save Snow White and became Night Pirates with Class Two!

They have been practising after school with singing and dancing support from Mrs Dowson and Mrs Mason and costume design and alterations by Mrs Nelson.
‘Break a leg’ everyone - your dress rehearsal this morning was fabulous!!
