GREAT NORTH AIR AMBULANCE CLOTHING COLLECTION

Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to our recent collection on Sunday 12^th & Monday 13^th July 2020 – through delivering bags around our parish, collecting the filled bags or by donating items. Your help is very much appreciated.

We have had such a tremendous response, with donations also coming from villages outside of our parish, as a consequence of which a second van had to be sent out from Darlington to ensure all of the bags could be collected.

UPDATE: We can announce that the amount raised for the Great North Air Ambulance Collection in July 2020 was an amazing £355.60 for both our school and the Air Ambulance. Once again thank you to everyone who has supported this event. We would not be so successful without your help and assistance.

Head Teachers Update (08/12/2020)

Dear Parents and families,

As we approach the end of what can only be described as a most challenging and unprecedented year, I would like to thank all of you for your continued support.

This autumn term has been like no other. However, despite the hygiene practises, the distancing measures and the restrictions we have had to adhere to, I am proud to say that school has felt like an oasis of normality in the chaos of fear and uncertainty that we are all trying to live with.

The children have been a delight and a tonic. They came back to school in September with an eagerness and desire to learn and this is so evident in their daily lessons. Attendance has been excellent as is behaviour.
