I just wanted to say thank you for last nights Performance at the Palace Theatre. My child had a lovely time and I loved watching her. She has really been enjoying her time in Performing Arts and it has helped her confidence to develop. I am looking forward further performances.

"Thank you very much for your involvement and for your support regarding children who have come from other countries. With your help, the whole of the Cockington teaching staff and the friendly children in the school, my child has integrated nicely into the education system in Great Britain."

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

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.

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.

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