A drama teacher has become the proud joint owner of a Bafta award through her involvement in an interactive learning programme.

Sarah Davison, left, from Chester-le-Street, features in the Roman section of the Headline History programme as a female gladiator who has an untimely death.

The programme, designed as a primary school teaching aid, was given this year's Children's Learning Bafta.

Ms Davison, who is currently teaching in Bermuda, attended Park View Community School, then went to Warwick University to study English and theatre studies.

She said she has always enjoyed performing in productions, as well as staging her own at university and in schools. For details about the programme visit www. headlinehistory.co.uk
