Neville’s Cross Primary School Centenary Success
The school had a wonderful two days on Friday and Saturday with several hundred former pupils, families and friends visiting the school.
The Mayor, Councillor Bob Wynn with Mayoress Nora Fisher visited the school on the Saturday afternoon and were escorted round the various displays of memorabilia by Hannah (shown above) who is herself the granddaughter of a former Mayor of Durham City.
There were many records of the past to be seen (did you know the original school had cost £4,500 to build when it opened in January 1908?), as well as displays of work done by the present pupils relating to the many changes that had taken place over 100 years.
Councillor Wynn, who is himself a governor of the school, congratulated everyone connected with the school for the hard work that had gone in to make the event a resounding success, before partaking of tea and cakes provided by the Neville’s Cross WI.
