The success of a school is built on more than just what happens in the classroom. Tapping into a wider network brings new perspectives and broadens the horizons of our school and our children.

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

"My first impression of the school was of the brilliant reception staff who, though clearly very busy, were as welcoming as they were efficient."

Mr Murray | School visitor

"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

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.
