The Schools’ Art Competition has been organised by the Parish Council since 1989.

Unfortunately for the last two years, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we have been unable to host the competition, however luckily this year we have been able to.

The standard of the work was very high with the children producing some amazing artwork following the theme of ‘Art and Culture in the Parish and County Durham Area’ 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners were presented with book tokens for £15, £10 and £5 by the local ward members who had the enjoyable but difficult task of judging the paintings.

The 1^st prize winners’ pictures were judged by the Durham Police & Crime Commissioner Joy Allen.

The overall winners received a trophy from the Chairman of the Parish Council, Councillor Jimmy Jamieson at the Parish meeting in July.

The winners were as follows:
