At Cockington, our job is to ensure that your child achieves the very best they can, no matter what barrier there may be with their learning. Approximately one in five children will have special education needs at some time during their school career – this may mean having a learning difficulty and/or physical difficulty that makes it harder for them to learn than most children of the same age.

Cockington Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all its pupils.

We are very proud of our curriculum at Cockington. We make children’s learning enticing, purposeful and challenging.

Our curriculum is planned around Learning Enquiries. Every half term, children are posed a question for them to answer through an exciting and engaging hook and an outcome. Teachers set high expectations of attainment and demonstrate these through adult-led modelling. We aim for each child to reach for the highest level of personal achievement.

We use Read Write Inc. Phonics as our early phonics scheme to  give children a flying start in learning to read and write regardless of background or need.

More information can be found on the curriculum section of our website.

Since the previous Ofsted report in Autumn 2021 (below), Cockington Primary School has been taken on by a new Multi Academy Trust called Connect (legally becoming a new school). The school has been under new leadership since January 2022, working closely with internal and external school improvement partners who have verified our progress over this period, and we look forward to the official validation of the progress made in our next Ofsted inspection report.

Cockington Primary School proudly joins hands with the Connect Academy Trust in providing exceptional education to its students.
