We held a special assembly last week on Wednesday 1st December to celebrate our recent award of Chance to Shine Primary School of the Year 2015. Chance to Shine is a national charity whose mission is to promote cricket throughout schools and communities.

The award recognises the outstanding progress that the school has made since Chance to Shine was introduced in our school in 2008 by Durham Cricket Boards Club and Coach Development Officer Philip Mellons. The school has excellent links with local cricket clubs, takes part in all the local interschool competitions, is played during our House Competitions and is now taught in PE lessons. The award was presented by Philip Mellons and England’s Women’s Team member Danielle Hazell.
