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.

It was such a beautiful morning that KS2 were able to get on the field for the fist time in weeks!
Angus was having a great time playing fetch, the Mass Dance Club were practicing and Class 2 came out to watch as they wanted to know what the music was for!

Year 5 have shown great levels of maturity and understanding during our NSPCC assembly in class today. They have learnt about the different types of abuse: bullying, neglect, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and physical abuse. 
They completed a task in which they thought about the people that make them feel safe and secure, places that they feel safe and items that bring them comfort.

Class 4 had a fantastic afternoon at the Tennis Skills event at the Dolphin Centre yesterday afternoon. They developed skills in aim, accuracy, ball control and speed. Each one was a credit to the school with their resilience and teamwork. 
Well done Class 4!
Thank you to Darlington School Sport Partnership as always for putting on another great sporting event for our children.

The after school Sketchbook Science Club has been investigating plastics, using branch diagrams and sorting into a caroll diagram. Then the children looked at The Big Wave by Hokusai making observations and learning about the painting. They then sketched an outline in pencil, looking at shape and form of the wave. This week the children enlarged the outline onto cardboard and painted in white and blue acrylic paint.
