On Wednesday we received an Equal Access Award (providing Equal Access for Girls’ Football). We have proved our commitment to providing equal access and opportunities to girls in the curriculum and through extra-curricular provision.
Thanks to Darlington School Sport Partnership for your support in helping us achieve this award.

We had a very busy Good News Worship this morning. As well as our normal certificates, we were treated to a performance from the Sing and Shout Choir.
Sing and Shout Choir will be continuing next term and Megan and Miss Trotter are looking for additional members, so look out for the consent forms in the new year.
Mark achieved the most house points this half term and will be awarded with an extra playtime next week.
