Welcome to High Coniscliffe CE Primary School

Welcome to High Coniscliffe CE Primary School.

We may be a small school, but we are one big family — with big ambitions for every child.

High Coniscliffe CE Primary School is a small village school situated on the outskirts of Darlington. We are proud to be part of Melrose Learning Trust, serving our village and welcoming children and families from the surrounding area and beyond.

Being a small school is one of our greatest strengths. We know our children and families well, build strong relationships and create a genuine sense of belonging. Our children learn within four close-knit, mixed-age classes: Explorers (Nursery and Reception), Adventurers (Years 1 and 2), Voyagers (Years 3 and 4) and Pioneers (Years 5 and 6).

At the heart of High Coniscliffe is our Christian vision, “I can do all things…” (Philippians 4:13). It shapes who we are, how we treat one another and what we believe is possible for every child.

Through our values of Love, Joy, Trust, Hope, Perseverance and Service, we create a community where children feel that they belong, are encouraged to embrace challenge and grow in confidence, and understand that they can make a positive difference to others.

This is the High Coniscliffe Way.

It is reflected in our high expectations, strong relationships, care for one another and our belief that every child can achieve, contribute and flourish. Rooted in our Christian foundation, we are a welcoming and inclusive school community where children and families of all faiths and none are valued and respected.

Our children move on to a range of secondary schools across the local area, ready to embrace the next stage of their journey with confidence.
