THE redevelopment of a 300-year-old primary school has been completed.
Blue Coat CE Aided Junior School, in Newton Hall, Durham, has undergone a £500,000 building programme, financed jointly by the Diocese of Durham and school finances.
Work has included replacing the windows, modernising toilets and drainage and putting up original murals throughout the school.
The Bishop of Jarrow, the Right Reverend John Pritchard, visited Blue Coats at the end of October, to bless the school and mark the end of the work.
