School Council (Think Global, Act Local)
Our school council’s mission is to make a difference – in school and beyond. To reflect this mission we are referred to as the ‘Think Global, Act Local’ group which is also a link to the fact that we are all global explorers and are passionate about being courageous advocates in what is best for members of our community (which we see as being local, national and global).
We are proactive by supporting activities relating to our curriculum, planned events in our local community and national and global events and initiatives.
We are also reactive – encouraging our community to support local challenges and international appeals.
Our work is always underpinned by our core Christian Values, British Values (Rule of Law, Tolerance, Democracy, Mutual Respect and Individual Liberty) and equal opportunities.
Our initiatives already completed this year include:
- Collected and delivered donations to Cockerton Foodbank as part of Harvest Festival
- Led the whole school sponsored walk on World Mental Health Day to raise money for The Listening Point
- Led the ‘Big Bean Boost’
- Decorated Pudsey biscuits for the whole school for Children in Need
- Sold poppies for the annual appeal
- Led the whole school Remembrance Service on Cockerton Green
- Led Collective Worship in Anti-Bullying Week and inspired everyone to celebrate their uniqueness by wearing odd socks
- Made decorations for the Christmas tree in Santander for the annual Darlington Christmas Tree Festival
- Led the school’s work as part of UK Parliament Week, including running a ballot to choose their next project
A very warm welcome to all the families joining our school community today on Primary School Place Offer Day! We are delighted that so many of you will be starting this exciting journey with us. We can’t wait to meet you and your children, and to share all the learning, friendships and opportunities ahead. Welcome to our school family! ... See MoreSee Less

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 ... See MoreSee Less

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. ... See MoreSee Less
