Welcome to Cockfield Primary School! We are a small, welcoming and inclusive Primary and Nursery school, located in the heart of Cockfield village in County Durham. Our school motto is “Care, believe, achieve together,” and our ethos of care and ambition runs through everything we do.
The pupils, their families and the wider community of Cockfield and the surrounding villages are at the heart of all we do. Through our coverage of the National Curriculum, additional enrichment opportunities and the pastoral care and support that we provide, we aim to provide a school experience which is challenging, supportive and engaging. We value and champion each child in our setting, and through getting to know the needs and strengths of all of our children, we aim to remove barriers to learn and find each child’s ‘element’ – area of learning where they really excel.
By the time pupils leave Cockfield Primary School, we aim for them to be good people who are ready to flourish in the next stage of their education . Through our school values of “care”, “kindness”, “respect”, “positivity” and “honesty” we aim to develop individuals who value differences between themselves and others, seek to explore the world through a love of reading and adventure and are responsible individuals who care for the world around them.
One of the aspects of life at Cockfield Primary School which sets us apart from other settings is our beautiful and inspiring outdoors environment. Our pupils are keen to explore, to investigate, to build and to be active. Through our less-structured times, our pupils are given opportunity to develop and secure social skills and resilience which complements learning within the classrooms.
By browsing through our website we hope that you get a flavour of what makes our school a special place to be, and if you would like to know more about our school then please contact the school office to arrange a visit.
Mrs N. Wright, Headteacher
