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.

This afternoon the children (and adults) on the residential completed “Jacob’s Ladder”. The children challenged themselves to see how high they could reach. There was great teamwork as they worked together to manage the system and excellent motivation from everyone! One group even reached the top!

This afternoon, our Think Global, Act Local group invited the whole school to join them in a week of celebration for Black History Month.
They challenged everyone to learn the words and dance for the chorus of this song (more if they can) so we can all join together again on Friday to celebrate everything we have learnt throughout the week.
