Admissions

Entry to school

Starting school in a reception class, can be an anxious time for both parents and children. We hope that the following information will help you to understand the process for choosing a school and applying for a place in school.

Admissions to schools in Darlington (including appeals) go through the admissions team at the Town Hall. Information about applying for a place at St. Mary’s Cockerton can be found on Darlington Borough Council Website: Darlington BC – Admissions

Further information can be found in our Admission Policy (below).

Mid-Year School Admissions

To apply for a place in any year group during the course of an academic year, other than at the normal point of entry, then you MUST contact the Schools Admissions Team for information on school places. Parents will be sent and required to complete an in-year application form, as a formal request for a school place will only be considered.

After a thorough sort out, only 5 of the 70 items in the Lost Property Box are named - these will be washed and returned to their owners after the Easter holiday.
That left 2 coats, 3 caps, 8 pairs of gloves, 1 pair of tights, 4 hats, 15 school jumpers and 32 cardigans which have all been donated to the School Uniform Exchange run by Darlington Borough Council and Darlington Cares
PLEASE name items before the children return to school after Easter

At the end of a very busy term, I would like to thank our wonderful children, staff, and families for all their hard work, enthusiasm, support and care.

At this time of year, we celebrate Easter – a message of hope, new life, and fresh beginnings.

Although we weren’t able to have our Easter Service in the hall today, the whole school did come together with Father Damon, Mother Jess and Mother Moji via Teams.

Whether you are celebrating Easter, another tradition, or simply enjoying the spring break, I hope the holidays bring rest and joy.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back for the summer term, refreshed, smiling, and (hopefully) not entirely made of Easter eggs!

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful break.
