What an amazing show! Well done Year 5.

Gen & Olly | Parent

"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

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

Pupils at Cockington Primary School are happy, safe and well supported. They benefit from the care of dedicated staff who are ambitious for every child.

Ofsted report 2025 | Inspector

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.
