We were so proud to see our mining heritage project come to a fantastic and fitting end with our banner launch events. The project, which was made possible through a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, involved the entire school and the wider community.
The banner was launched in its own community on the big lunch day when it was proudly paraded from school to St Mary’s stopping off at Sprigfield Lodge. West Rainton and Leamside were then placed firmly back on the mining heritage map when the banner made its debut at Durham Miners Gala.
It was overwhelming that so many members of our community were able to join us for the Cathedral blessing- a day that will go down in history.
