PRIMARY schoolchildren from 11 schools in Middlesbrough had their own graduation ceremony yesterday.
Almost 500 pupils took part in a procession from the University of Teesside to Middlesbrough Town Hall to receive their awards, for taking part in a two-week long summer school for ten and 11-year olds.
The summer school at the university aims to show children what higher education has to offer. This was the first time those who took part were given awards. They wore red T-shirts for the ceremony, attended by town Mayor Kath Bevington.
