House & Vice House Captains
Democracy was also in action this week as Y6 children set out the reasons why they felt they should be elected as House & VIce Captain. All pupils in Y1-Y6 went to the ballot box to cast their vote and the results counted and verified. We are delighted to announce the following House and Vice-Captains:
Durham | Lambton | Lumley | Raby | |
House Captain | Henry E | Ruby W | Isla R | Daisy B |
