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.
Our youngest children truly immersed themselves in our Diwali celebration today. They helped to decorate the hall so beautifully, danced until their feet were sore, sang their little hearts out and enjoyed tasting some delicious food. 🪔✨
We were so proud of how respectful, curious and inquisitive they were — asking thoughtful questions and showing such enthusiasm throughout the day.
What a fantastic way to finish an amazing first half term together!

This afternoon, Miss Howard led her new string musicians to play a couple of pieces of music to Class 3. The first piece is called 'Willow Waltz' and the second is called 'Jig'.
Well done everyone and thanks Miss Howard @DurhamMusicService

Today is the last day of our Black History Month celebrations, and we’ve been wearing red to support Shaka Hislop and the “Show Racism the Red Card” campaign. ❤️
Even though our celebration is ending, our work to make the world fairer and kinder never stops.
Every day, we can keep showing respect, standing up for what’s right and celebrating all the wonderful differences that make each of us special.
The Bible tells us that we are all God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10) - each one of us is unique, valuable and one of a kind.

The children absolutely love singing this song - there will be another enthusiastic rendition in the last House Team Assembly of this half term as we continue to celebrate Black History Month and learn from the work of Shaka Hislop to help stop racism by showing people that everyone should be treated fairly and with respect. He works to find and support good role models in schools, sports and communities—people who can show others how to be kind and equal. His goal is to make the world a place where no one is judged by their skin colour. We share that goal.

A reminder that tomorrow is a non-uniform day. The children are invited to wear red as part of our work about the global initiative, 'Show Racism the Red Card'.

A real team effort to help one of our little field residents today. This little chap was found lost in the field. The poor little creature was in a lot of danger as several magpies had spotted him.
Mrs Atkins brought him inside to safety and then Hedgehog Helpers Darlington came to collect him to check him over and make sure he's ok.
If he makes a full recovery he will come back to where he belongs - and by that I mean the school field, not in the guinea pig hutch with Rosie and Maisie as you can hear me suggesting!!

As part of our work to celebrate Black History Black, some of the children have asked me if we could have a non-uniform day on Friday and ask everyone to wear red as part of our work about the global initiative, 'Show Racism the Red Card'.
It's wonderful when children come with brilliant ideas to share the work they are doing in school - so its a yes from me!
***Non-uniform with red if possible on Friday 24th October***
