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.

what our friends think about their experiences with cockington

"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

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

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
