PARENTS were given a glimpse of a new £2.9m Darlington school yesterday.

An open evening at Alderman Leach Primary School gave parents the chance to discuss proposals for the new facility with education chiefs.

The proposed school, off West Auckland Road, will replace Alderman Leach Primary School and accommodate 315 pupils, and 52 nursery children.

Parents of children attending the primary school, and residents of Cockerton and Faverdale, visited the event.
