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.

We're proud to be part of this established and growing Multi-Academy Trust in Devon. Everything they do is for the good of all of our pupils and staff.

We are working with OPAL to improve our outdoor playtimes.

Cockington PTA’s aim, quite simply, is to help support the staff in providing our children with the best possible education.

We work closely with Torquay United, who provide lunch time coaches and offer us days out to watch matches at Plainmoor.

Torre Abbey

Torre Abbey is interwoven into our curriculum, and many year groups visit the Abbey as part of their Learning Enquiries.

what our friends think about their experiences with cockington

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

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

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

Ofsted report 20025 |

"The children who came to work with our residents were very respectful. The residents enjoyed celebrating the King's Coronation with them."
