St. Mary’s Cockerton Church of England Primary School Newton Lane, Darlington, DL3 9EX
Be the hands and feet of Jesus
WELCOME TO
St. Mary’s Cockerton Primary 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.
Reception to Year 6 all had a great time with the coaches from Go Well for their Hoopstarz session this week. Here are some great photos from Year 2 and Year 5. ... See MoreSee Less

Today, Reception had an amazing time joining a live lesson with Greg Botrill to celebrate National Hairy Toe Day! 👣✨
The children got stuck into some fantastic creative activities—making their very own hairy toes and designing houses for them to live in. There were so many imaginative ideas, but our absolute favourite had to be the “Hairy-plane” 🚀—a brilliant invention to help the hairy toe escape the tiny monster!
Everyone had so much fun, with lots of laughter, creativity and brilliant ideas all round. What a fantastic experience for the class! 💛

Class Newsletters with curriculum information and dates for the Summer Term will be coming home with the children in the next few days, but I wanted to give you early notice of the dates for this year's Sports Days.
With the unpredictable nature of our weather, we are holding our Sports Days slightly earlier this year so that if we do have to postpone we have enough time to find an alternative date later in the term. Also, the weather in May is often lovely and not quite as hot as it can potentially get in June/July.
The dates are as follow:
Nursery: Tuesday 19th May 9.00am - parents and carers are invited to come in for a tea or coffee at 8.30am while the children get ready for their Sports Day which will run from 9.00am to approximately 9.45am.
Reception, Class One and Class Two: Tuesday 19th May from 1.30pm until hometime
Classes Three, Four, Five and Six: Wednesday 20th May from 1.30pm until hometime
More information will be sent home nearer the time, fingers crossed the weather is fine! ... See MoreSee Less

We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow ready for the start of the Summer Term.
A reminder that the changes to the timings of the school day begin tomorrow for children in Reception to Year 6 (no changes for Nursery).
At 8.40am the playground and Reception gates will open. All the children will say goodbye to their adults at the gate and will walk straight into school to get into class for registration at 8.50am.
The gates will close promptly at 8.50am.
Any children arriving after that time will need to be taken to the main entrance by an adult who will be asked for the reason for their lateness. Up to 9.00am this will be marked in the register as 'Late' but after 9.20am it will be marked as 'Unauthorised absence'.
Hometime arrangements will not change, except that the end of the school will be 3.20pm with the playground gates opening at 3.15pm.
Teachers will not be available to talk to before school as they will be with the children, but messages can be left with the member of staff at the gate or at the office. ... See MoreSee Less
