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.

Today, our Year 6 children enjoyed a visit to Durham Cathedral for a leavers’ service as they prepare to transition to secondary school.
With a theme of ‘building’ inspired by the ‘Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders’ the children were encouraged to think about building their life on firm foundations and putting their trust in God.
This week, more than 1700 year six pupils from sixty different schools took part in the services.
Our children represented school wonderfully as always!

Y6 have had a busy day, learning first aid and life saving skills as the children rescued Mr Toner and Miss Park from a ‘plane crash’!
They've explored in the woods and developed their carving skills and also have made parachords.
They’ve also spent time with bows and arrows learning archery in the woods. 🏹
They are having a wonderful time!

What an amazing end to the week for our Y6 children who have shown such positive attitudes and maturity during SATs week.
After completing the tests on Monday through to Thursday, the week was made complete with a fun filled Friday!
The whole school gave a huge round of applause and cheer in House Team Assembly this morning to congratulate the children on their efforts this week and in the lead up to SATs.
Mrs Jenkins made up a round of bacon sandwiches which the children enjoyed during morning playtime.
On the afternoon Mrs Hall, Miss Park and Mr Stonehouse took the children on a walk to the River Tees in the village where they had fun on the riverbank and made some lasting memories with friends.
The children all wanted to bring in their favourite sweets to create a mega ‘pick n mix’ which was shared among the class. They had fun recording the making of this too!
They also enjoyed a shared buffet this afternoon. A huge thank you to parents for your generous contributions!
We are so proud of you all Year 6! 🤩 A huge well done!

VE Day 80 Celebration 🇬🇧
Today we held a special VE Day assembly where we celebrated the 80th anniversary of the END of the second world war, Victory in Europe (or VE) Day.
On 8th May 1945, VE day marked a new beginning - a day where people could hope for a future without fear.
We thought about the question - why does peace matter? Peace means laughter instead of fear and dreams instead of danger. Peace gives everyone the chance to grow and learn.
The children took part in a moment of silence before tucking into a traditional roast dinner followed by celebration cupcakes.
Wearing their red, white and blue, the children enjoyed joining in with the day.

What a wonderful day the Adventurers have had at Saltburn!
The morning began by completing some field work tasks - finding out about why people travel to Saltburn and what facilities they enjoy whilst exploring the area. They engaged confidently with members of the public and some workers during this task. We spoke to people who were visiting from as far afield as Australia!
Some children got to see inside a beach hut, find out about the working of the cliff lift whilst others explored the arcades and the pier.
The children discovered what the buildings were used for before walking along to the Valley Gardens. Playing on the various equipment in the play area was enjoyed by all of the children before exploring the Italian gardens.
Feeling excited at seeing the Saltburn Miniature Railway, all the children and adults got on board the train and enjoyed the ride to Cat Nab station. After disembarking the train, the children enjoyed a picnic lunch at the platform as so other people had booked the train this day.
After arriving at the beach, the children were quick to make the most of this special time building sandcastles with friends, rock sculptures, collecting shells and treasures and a few ball games.
The behaviour of our children was exemplary and we were very proud of how they represented our school.
A big thank you to all our volunteers who supported the children on this trip, we are very grateful to them for their continued support.

Today some children from our Adventurers class went to the Dolphin Centre to showcase the trains they had made in Design and Technology as part of the primary engineering programme. 🚂
We are pleased to announce that two children won ‘The Best Communicator’ award and came back to school with hats, medals and a trophy!
We are so proud of the skills the children have learnt in making these trains. Their perseverance, determination and problem solving skills have been outstanding! 🚂⭐️
