A NEWTON Aycliffe school has been chosen to take part in a creative initiative.
Greenfield School is one of only a handful in the Sunderland and County Durham areas chosen to participate in the Creative Partnerships venture.
Pupils from the school will work alongside drama specialists from Northern Stage and Jack Drum Arts.
A group of Year 11 pupils have also worked with animator Sheryl Jenkins to produce their own piece of animation.
A spokeswoman for the school said: "Creative Partnerships will give tens of thousands of young people in England the opportunity to participate in and enjoy cultural and artistic activities."
During the project young people and their teachers will have the opportunity to experience the work of dancers and actors, pick up their plectrums and strum with professional musicians and experience the work of sculptors and poets.
Architects, fashion designers and film-makers will also be taking part, among other creative organisations such as museums, libraries, galleries and theatres.
