Community News
Coxhoe and our Community
The school encourages open communication between home and school and issues regular newsletters to parents, via their children, detailing events and particulars concerning school. These events are also communicated through our school website.
May we take this opportunity to thank the people of Coxhoe for the faithful support, interest and encouragement given to the school. We aim to build on the links already established in our community, and, with your help, make our school a place of which we can all be justifiably proud.
We are always grateful to those parents who come in to school and help. Don’t be shy! If you have some time to spare or a particular talent or area of expertise then we would love to hear from you.
Currently parent helpers are involved in supporting children with reading, helping in practical and creative subjects such as cookery, sewing, art, music and design technology. So if you are free, even for an hour a week, come in and speak to Mrs Bartle (Deputy Head) who organises our parent helpers – she would love to hear from you.
Prior to commencing your work in school all helpers will be required to have successfully completed a CRB disclosure form which helps us ensure pupils are protected from harm.
Friends of Coxhoe Primary School
We have a very active parent and teacher association (The Friends of the School) who organise many fun events for all of the pupils in the school including discos and outings, as well as raising valuable funds for the school which enable us to enrich the curriculum and provide additional resources for teaching.
The Friends of the School meet termly to discuss future events and would value any additional support which you may be able to give. Please contact Mrs Kay Simpson (President) for further information about forthcoming events and to offer your support.
We work closely with the Coxhoe Community Partnership to enable the children to make a difference to their own community outside of school. Recent events have included the War Memorial and the Living Churchyard project. 
We also work closely with the Coxhoe Chronicle to share all of the exciting events in scool with our wider comunity. Look out for articles in the next issue!
We work closely with other schools in the wider community and make links with other groups such as the local history group, churches and local businesses in County Durham. If you would like to become more involved then please get in touch.
