The present disclosure relates to cooling systems for turbine stators. A stator may include a vane platform. A ducting plate may be coupled to the vane platform. The ducting plate and the vane platform may form a cooling chamber between the ducting plate and the vane platform. The ducting plate may include an inlet adjacent to a leading edge of the vane platform. The vane platform may include an outlet adjacent to a trailing edge of the vane platform. The ducting plate may be configured to channel cooling air through the cooling chamber from the leading edge to the trailing edge.
