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 very lucky to have Cockerton Library on our doorstep and each class visits regularly to borrow books. It's only Tuesday but Class 4 were the fourth class to visit this week already!

This group of Year 7s seem to have forgotten that they left in July! I sent them packing…..
Just kidding, it was lovely to see them and hear all about life at secondary school!

Every Monday at 2.45pm we come together for our first whole school worship of the week (Reception will join us later in the term).
Today we started thinking about our Christian value of the term, thankfulness. Some children from Class 4 read the creation story from Genesis and we thought about what we are thankful for in this incredible world. One of the children said they were thankful for their teacher, Mrs Mason, which made her day!
Mother Jess and Father Damon will lead whole school worship again on Wednesday afternoon to carry on the theme from today and then I lead again on Friday to summarise the week and then finish with House Team Assembly.

Well, that was a rather fabulous few days! The children have been fabulous and have worked SO hard - you might get a little bit of peace this weekend if they're as shattered as I am! Especially our new starters - all the excitement of their first two half days will have definitely worn them out
A wonderful first House Team Assembly with our new Captains and Vice Captains leading their teams for the first time. Well done to all the children who received tokens for going 'above and beyond' - great total for the win, Blue Team!
Nod to our leavers too - you're all in our thoughts and we hope you've had a great first week too.
Have a lovely weekend everyone - see you on Monday.

Only the 3rd day back and Class 4 have already walked into Cockerton village to visit the Co-op to find out about Fairtrade products. They will be sharing their learning with their parents and carers at the first class assembly of the year later this month.

**** Year 5 PE days and kit ****
Just to let you know that unfortunately not all the PE t-shirts for Year 5 have arrived so they have not brought them home today.
Therefore, Mrs Dowson has decided not to do PE tomorrow in the hope that they arrive. - so normal school uniform tomorrow please.
However, PE will definitely take place on Friday - so they will hopefully have their new t-shirt, or can wear last year's if it still fits. If not, a plain t-shirt will be fine for this week.

I’m not saying that I want it to rain, but I am keen to find out if the summer work to add more drainage to the playground has worked! 🤞
