Hello everyone, we hope you are well and continuing to follow the guidelines to keep safe. Last night the government announced that schools may be in a position to re-open on June 1st for pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.

All staff and Governors would like nothing better than to have our school open, our classrooms full and our children being educated. But, our first priority has to be the safety of children and staff.

As today progresses there will be further information from the Government as to how they plan for this return to school to happen. The Governors and senior leaders of the school will be taking advice and guidance from the government, the Local Authority and the Education Unions. Any decisions made about re-opening will be based primarily on keeping pupils and staff safe.

Thank you to all the parents for making such a wonderful effort for World Book Day. The costumes are amazing and the children have had fun reading their favourite books. Thank you to the parents who attended – this helps to make it a really special day. Books Rule!

Thank you to our parents for sending some wonderful photographs of your ‘Snow Day’. It was lovely to see families having fun in the snow.

We had our most recent Ofsted inspection just before Christmas 2019 and were delighted with the findings. The inspector spoke at length to children, parents, governors and staff and she really got a clear understanding of what it is to be a child in Cockton Hill Infants’ School.

Ofsted Report – 20-01-2020

It was fantastic to see how many children came to school today on their bikes and scooters, all decorated with tinsel, baubles and lights! Mr Raine, who organises this event each year to encourage more active journeys to school, was delighted with the response.

All the children in school and nursery paraded around the playground enthusiastically. Well done, everyone!
