WELCOME TO

St. Mary’s Cockerton Primary School

A Melrose Learning Trust 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.

Congratulations to our fabulous choir who performed ‘You Can Fly’ from Peter Pan at the annual Darlington Mayor’s Song Contest this evening.
As they were so adorable, the judges created a Special Award called the Judges Award for Cuteness. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🏆🏆🏆

Having our first World Book Day (UK & Ireland) with nursery was wonderful - exploring activites about books, bedtime stories in the hall, seeing the Dining Room all decorated and sharing books with some of the older children along with dressing up made it a memorable day for everyone!
