what our friends think about their experiences with cockington

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."

Mr Murray | Vistor to school

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

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

"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."
