Year 6 student Angellina proved she is an amazing member of the community when she helped to breath some fresh life into our local area.

She joined forces with Newcastle City Council and a range of churches to help paint the benches along Chillingham Road.

Angellina said, “i was painting the benches with some friendly local councillors – it was really fun! It was great to help the community and brighten up the streets with the colourful benches.”

Headteacher Mr Brown said, “Angelina is such an amazing part of our school family that I am not surprised by this. She is a wonderful person who always thinks of others before herself. Well done Angelina – we are very proud of you.”
