Welcome to Cockton Hill Junior School website

Thank you for visiting our website. 
We hope you enjoy looking around it
and find all the information you require.

The two schools are managed separately however, the teams work closely together to ensure continuity of education for all pupils. Pupils from the infant school transfer to the junior school at the end of year two- a short journey across the playground! We work together to provide a transition programme to support a smooth move from infant to juniors.

The school has a long history dating back 103 years. We reside in a beautiful Victorian building with spacious areas for additional teaching and learning zones as well as extra classrooms. Our school boasts two halls, a support base, a music room, two libraries and an ICT suite. We have extensive grounds including a school garden and have a large field used for sports events and summer time events and play. We enjoy the beauty of our local rural environment to enhance learning.

All classrooms have the latest technologies installed to deliver top class learning opportunities. We provide a broad and balanced curriculum addressing local, national and international issues. We believe in widening our children’s experiences through out of school visits and residentials. We also enjoy a range of visitors from the local community and beyond into school to help us understand more about the world we live in.

Our Ofsted inspection in September 2011 confirms we are a 'good' school and surveys show that our children enjoy school life, in particular the variety of activities on offer both during and after school. We have an experienced team of teaching staff and the school is benefitting from a new senior leadership team in place from 2011. We have a high ratio of staff to pupils and this ensures we can meet the needs of all our pupils and support them to achieve their absolute best. We recognise the interest and talents of individuals and encourage and celebrate their achievements, to follow our school motto of ‘being the best we can be’. We work closely with parents and carers and believe that together we can make good provision for children in our care.

The safety of our children is a high priority. We work closely with parents and carers to ensure all children are very well cared for and protected in safe and secure surroundings, both on and off school premises.  We have security systems which safeguard all school members.

Our school is a very exciting and busy place to be. We welcome the support of the local community and encourage parents and carers to participate in their children’s learning.If you would like to help or take part in adult learning opportunities,  please do not hesitate to contact me at the main office.
