"Thank you very much for your involvement and for your support regarding children who have come from other countries. With your help, the whole of the Cockington teaching staff and the friendly children in the school, my child has integrated nicely into the education system in Great Britain."

Gen & Olly | Parent

"Cockington Primary School has looked after my children well throughout their time."

Karson Camron | Parent

"It was great to see how much thought had been put into the facilities and their use. From outdoor teaching areas for early years pupils, to specific playground features such as large tyres which were there to replicate outdoor play more typical of the pre-digital era; everything was aimed at enriching the pupil experience."

Mr Murray | School visitor

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

Ofsted report 20025 |

The school’s provision for personal development is a strength. Pupils learn about fundamental British values and experience democracy through voting for school council representatives.

Ofsted report 2025 | Inspector

Your children were all highly engaged in every type of play and bursting with sheer joy and happiness. I had wanted to see an Opal school play ground in action, as I've seen and shown many video clips to my school team and our school council but to stand and watch your children in action was amazing. There were so many children completely oblivious to us as visitors because of how engrossed they were in their learning. The way you have used your grounds and the set up was much more than I expected.

Mrs Butler | Deptuty Head

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.
