Our School

"Cockington Primary School is a welcoming school. Staff will do anything for the children, who are at the heart of everything we do."

Cockington Primary School is a wonderful place to come to everyday. I love working with the children.

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.

"Cockington Primary School has looked after my children well throughout their time."

"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."

What an amazing show! Well done Year 5.

"My children are happy at this school, the staff are nice and helpful when needed."

Thank you for Cockington Primary School for being an excellent audience to my poetry assemblies. They produced some great poems at Torquay library and the staff were brilliant to work with.

"It was great to see how much thought had been put into the facilities and their use. From outdoor teaching areas for early years pupils, to specific playground features such as large tyres which were there to replicate outdoor play more typical of the pre-digital era; everything was aimed at enriching the pupil experience."

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.

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

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.
