We may be a small school but we are a great big family taking an active role in our local community and the wider world.
Our school is a place where all are welcomed and invited to build a community where God’s love is shared to enable positive engagement, action and education; allowing children, staff and pupils to be inspired to raise their eyes, open their minds and explore the world God created. Participating in God’s mission of love to both the local community and the wider world, we live fully as global neighbours.
Our school is part of The Melrose Learning Trust.
We are located on the outskirts of Darlington in the village of High Coniscliffe. We have four mixed aged classes and can accommodate up to 105 children in school. As a faith school, we have a wide catchment and we take children from all around the surrounding area. We feed into all the local secondary schools.
If you would like to visit us or would like more information about the school, please get in touch with the school office.

What a wonderfully, festive performance by the children of our ‘Carols and Crafts’ club at The George of Piercebridge Christmas Market.
If you were lucky enough to be part of the audience, I hope you agree what amazing singing and confidence was showcased by our fantastic children.
A huge thank you to Miss White for working with the children in the build up to the event, to Mrs Robinson for helping to organise and to our suportive families for venturing out in the snow to bring your children along. The biggest thank you of all goes to the children for their enthusiasm and sparkling stage presence.
Feeling very festive and full of joy this snowy Saturday!
Well done to all involved!

Children from our ‘Carols and Crafts’ club will be singing some Christmas carols and songs today at The George of Piercebridge
❄️ Despite the snowy start, the event is still planned to go ahead. Please take care when travelling and we look forward to seeing our singers and their families there.
It would be lovely to see more of our school community there too.

Anti-Bullying Week 2024
From playgrounds to parliament, our homes to our phones, this Anti-Bullying Week let's 'Choose Respect' and bring an end to bullying which negatively impacts millions of young lives.
This year, we’ll empower children and young people to not resort to bullying, even when we disagree and remind adults to lead by example, online and offline.
Imagine a world where respect and kindness thrives — it’s not just a dream, it's in the choices we make.
This Anti-Bullying Week the children chose to commit to 'Choose Respect'.
On Tuesday we took part in Odd Socks Day, a day where we chose to join together to show that it's okay to be different and to stand up against bullying and discrimination.
As part of their music lessons, our Voyagers have enjoyed writing their own lyrics and performing a song with the title ‘Stop Bullying!’ which fit perfectly with our theme this week.
We have recorded them singing their song and and we hope you help us spread their message far and wide. Enjoy!

🟡 CHILDREN IN NEED 2024 🟡
What a beautiful sight: So many children dressed up as their favourite characters, wearing their Pudsey and Blush ears, Pudsey tops and a delightful sight of yellow.
The day started with our House Team Assembly where we joined in with the BBC Gladiators Live Assembly. It was a celebratory 20 minute join-in moment full of energizing, moodboosting, fun for everyone.
Many children selected a name for Pudsey and ‘Daisy’ was the winning name. Herbie was delighted to receive the bear of 2024, as Daisy was the name of a dog of his.
Flavoured popcorn was cooked and packed by the school councillors and children enjoyed the taste of salty, sweet or caramel popcorn during their afternoon Pudsey Playtime!
Classes enjoyed games of Pudsey bingo, and many Pudsey maths challenges were tackled throughout the morning. Our Explorers enjoyed some Pudsey crafts and made (and ate) Pudsey biscuits too.
A grand total of £370 has been raised for the ‘Children in Need 2024’ charity this year.
A huge thank you to our parents and children for supporting this event. And an extra special thank you to Mrs Hall and the School Council for their wonderful organisation of the events throughout the day.

Today, the children in the Voyagers and Pioneers class enjoyed a house team rugby tournament.
Each house team played 3 matches, taking a fair share of the game time each.
After the three games were played the results were shared:
🔴 🟢 Red and green team won one match each and lost two.
🔵 🟡 Blue and yellow won two matches each and lost one.
To find an overall winning team, a short final game was played.
Although both teams played a great game, the speed at which two of the players - Luca and Angus - took the ball forward, a victory win went to the blue house team. 🔵 🥇
We were very lucky to have the weather on our side for this time of year and hope to have some further house team matches in other sports as the academic year progresses.
The enjoyment of the children was a pleasure to watch and memories last a lifetime. Well done for amazing sportsmanship.

Our Adventurers just LOVE to sing! 🎶
Here they are singing one of their favourite hymns, ‘My Lighthouse’.
Miss White has been so impressed with them that she asked if they could sing for the whole school today in House Team Assembly. The children performed with great enjoyment and confidence.
Enjoy! 😀

⭐️ School Fundraiser ⭐️
On behalf of the School Council, we would like to say a huge thank you to our school family for supporting the non-uniform day. From jeans and jumpers, skirts and dresses, football kits, super heroes and beautiful costumes, the children showed their individuality and raised an incredible £205.20.
The children can’t wait to have their say on what new equipment they can purchase to further enhance our playtimes and to begin thinking about setting up a healthy tuck shop. More updates to follow after the half-term break.
Here are the treasurers of the school council counting the donations. They did a wonderful job!
