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.
As part of their learning in Geography, the Adventures recently enjoyed a local walk around the village of High Coniscliffe to take part in some map skills tasks.
They used an aerial photograph of the village and an ordnance survey map. The children were asked to locate where they were on the map using identifiable features.

Our Pioneers have been on a mission to research recipes around chosen food products.
Peppers, salmon and pineapple have been key ingredients to design a menu around.
Learning the journey these food items take from farm to fork, has also been a key focus.
Tasty prepared griddled peppers and paneer skewers enriched in a lightly spiced olive rub were devoured.
Rich creamy sauce was prepared for pan fried salmon, as well as a lemon infused sauce for a salmon pasta dish.
Perfectly baked upside-down pineapple cake, unbaked pineapple squares and some lemon iced biscuits were the deserts of choice.
Learning so many new skills including whisking, beating, grating, melting, frying, chilling and grinding were to name but a few.
Now we just need to find out which dish was each Pioneer's favourite.

💫 GLOW DAY 2025 💫
What a great way to brighten up a dark January day! Another fantastic event in school ran by Go Well! The children took part in a range of games and activities throughout the day which was followed by an after school Glow Disco! The smiles on the children’s faces show how much enjoyment and fun was had by all - including the staff! Thanks to all involved and to our wonderful parents for supporting the event! We raised over £350 from the disco! 🤩

Today we held our first Girl’s after school football session. ⚽️
The focus this week was control of the ball and movements with the ball. The girls also practised keeping the ball away from others. The session ended with a bit of target practice. 🥅
A super effort on this cold day in January!

🏃♂️ 🏃♀️ Today pupils from Year 3 and 4 attended the Sportshall Athletics event at the Dolphin centre. 🏃🏻
They have been working hard over a lunch time to improve their technique and scores in preparation for the event.
Pupils showed great determination when faced in competition against 7 other local schools.
They demonstrated perseverance when competing in their activities and pushed themselves to get our school more points.
🥉 We are pleased to share that High Coniscliffe school received 3rd place at the event! 🥉
Pupils all got a medal as a lasting memory and to showcase how fantastic they all were.
