Parents That Paint Morning
Posted 30th January
On Tuesday 28th January we welcomed our parents and carers into school for a lovely morning of art activities. With this day being International Lego Day this was a perfect theme for our pupils and their parents and carers to enjoy being creative together. The resulting art work is inspirational and we would like to thank everyone who attended, including Craig Williams from Durham County Council to support and talk to our Dads and Male Carers specifically.
We have produced a video from the event for you to enjoy.
You can view a video of the event in our News & Events section.
