CHILDREN at a Hurworth school have been kitted out in new sports equipment.
American catering company Sodhexo agreed to sponsor the team strips for Hurworth House School.
The strips, in the school colours of light blue and dark blue, will be used by the pupils every time they represent the school. The have the school's name on the back and the sponsor name on the front.
Alec Angel, regional manager for Sodexho's education department visited the school, near Darlington, to inspect the kit.
A spokeswoman for the school said: "We're absolutely thrilled by the new strips.
"The boys used to have to take the kit home and get it washed, but now it is all done by the catering staff because Sodhexo are even laundering it."
