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 we also said goodbye and good luck to two of our fabulous staff. Mrs Gunnell, who is retiring and Miss Todd who is venturing on to a new school, were treat to a lovely picnic lunch with all of the staff and children. In our final assembly of the year, I read out a poem for each of them, which each sums up their wonderful characters. After working with both of them for the past 11 years, I can honestly say it’s been a privilege. 💖

DARLINGTON COMMUNITY CARNIVAL 2024
A few pictures of the children who joined in the parade through the town centre to Stanhope Park today.
They represented our school wonderfully and I hope you agree that their props looked fantastic! 🕷️🕸️ 🪰
A huge thank you to all involved, including our families who walked alongside the parade and joined in with the fun!

Our Pioneer Class had an amazing time playing Cricket on Tuesday against six other Darlington Schools. When they first arrived, the event was almost rained off, but the children persevered and as soon as the skies cleared, they were back on the pitch, raring to go!
Miss Park was very proud of our year 6 children's communication skills, teamwork and the resilience shown in all their games. The children encouraged each other from the sidelines and gave compassion to not only their own teammates, but also the competing teams.
They were the perfect sportspeople! 🏏

We are so proud of our Year 6 children; they have all tried their best this week as they have completed their SATs and their best is all we can ask.
The children have had a lovely relaxing day today; the class started the day with Mr Toner and Mrs Robinson serving the children bacon sandwiches. This was followed by a House Team Assembly led by Mrs Boyce where the whole school showed their appreciation of our wonderful Year 6 children.
For the rest of the day they have played games, had a buffet, watched a movie, created some artwork, had a quiz and just had a well-deserved day of fun, rest and recuperation!
Thanks to all the parents for your ongoing support, your children have been a credit to you.

This week in maths, our Explorers have been consolidating their learning of identifying and creating equal sets. We have really worked on understanding vocabulary such as 'pair', 'equal', ‘group’ and each'. Lots of children have found this mathematical concept of early multiplication tricky and have found it helpful using practical resources to share their learning visually.
There are some quick-fire questions on 1 minute maths under the multiplications heading called 'equal groups'. There are also activities in the category linked to counting in steps of 2, 5 and 10. Using 2p, 5p and 10p coins is another great way of practising this skill and linking it to money too.

The children have all enjoyed an 'egg-cellent' end to the Spring Term today as they enjoyed a range of Easter themed activites including decorating their eggs with friends.
We also held our Easter service in school this morning and the children reflected and thought all about Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
From all of us at High Coniscliffe CE Primary school, we wish you a Happy Easter.
Have a wonderful break and we will look forward to seeing all of our families for the start of the Summer Term on Monday 15th April.
