A Darlington primary school has been presented with an environment award for its work to reduce litter and promote recycling.
Mount Pleasant Primary School received the Caring for Our Environment Award from Darlington Borough Council.
Last month the school took part in a litterpick arranged by the authority and fast food chain McDonald's, when pupils collected litter in their school grounds and learned about caring for their environment and recycling.
The school also encouraged pupils to create posters promoting the environment, which have been displayed in the Northgate McDonald's restaurant in the town.
