About Cockington Primary School
Cockington is a large primary school with limited grounds, mostly tarmac. Since the start of their OPAL journey during the global pandemic, the school has undergone many changes, and it is a mark of their tenacity and commitment that they finally achieved a very well-deserved OPAL Platinum Award in July 2024.
