A TEESSIDE school has won £100 in a national prize draw.

Egglescliffe School, near Stockton, won the money after pupils took part in a Royal Bank of Scotland finance and business skills course.

Jo Richardson, a teacher at the school, said: "The Royal Bank Face2Face with Finance programme is a great way for our students to learn about managing their finances effectively.

"Winning this prize is a real bonus for us and the funds will go towards our Enterprise project in 2005."

Karen Connett, from the Royal Bank, said: "I've really enjoy my involvement with the school, and was delighted to hear about the prize.

"We really appreciate the feedback we receive from schools, and the monthly draw is our way of saying thank you."
