We are incredibly proud to announce that two of our Year 8 students were selected as winners for the 2021 Durham Young People’s Awards!
Sophie won the Creativity Award after volunteering for local charities during lockdown as well as making visors for those on the frontline. She always contributes to school competitions and fundraisers, recently winning our school Who Wants to be a Millionaire competition and Trust facemask competition - she’s on a roll! Sophie continues to enjoy all aspects of the creative arts but none more so than baking…
Philippa took home the title in the Sports Award, after playing for her local club since primary school. In August 2020, she was given a year-long contract with Sunderland RTC - an unbelievable achievement! Philippa was also recently accepted onto the Women’s High-performance Centre, set by the FA at Northumbria University.
Both Sophie and Philippa are great role models for other pupils in school -we are so proud!
