I just wanted to say thank you for last nights Performance at the Palace Theatre. My child had a lovely time and I loved watching her. She has really been enjoying her time in Performing Arts and it has helped her confidence to develop. I am looking forward further performances.

The children who attended the Torquay United match are a credit to your school the way they behaved. They didn't stop singing despite the bad weather!

Jo Harris | Community Officer at Torquay United

Thank you for Cockington Primary School for being an excellent audience to my poetry assemblies. They produced some great poems at Torquay library and the staff were brilliant to work with.

James | Poet

Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are polite, welcoming and respectful of others. At breaktimes, pupils play cooperatively. They speak positively about the inclusive and kind school culture.

Ofsted report 2025 | Inspector

Reading is at the heart of the school’s curriculum. Behaviour is exemplary

Ofsted report 20025 |

"I was able to join a class for Maths and Phonics and, once again, was very impressed by what I saw. I couldn't believe the maturity with which many of the students worked - no doubt in no small part due to the example set by the class teacher, who was clear in her instructions, and uniform in her engagement with the pupils."
